"The problem is that the UN is not acting as "united nations". It's acting as a place where many nations (my own included) try to use the mechanism to their own benefit at the expense of others and given that, I find it to be more dangerous than helpful. A helpful UN would be valued, but an inimical and tyrannical UN is better off dead. The reason I want the UN humiliated and deemphasized is that what it has become is worse than useless." - Steven Den Beste
"People who know themselves, know their limits and their actions are therefore unlikely to be excessive. Lack of self-knowledge leads to excess; the worst excesses in the private and public domains originate from and are sustained by ignorance of oneself. In this age of the image, we have a public conditioned by the cheap thrills and distractions afforded by a booming entertainment industry; conditioned by the pseudo-heroic myths promoted by politicians and the news moguls who reduce war and atrocities to the level of B grade Hollywood movies and a game of cards." -Anya Daly

"The argument for collectivism is simple if false; it is an immediate emotional argument. The argument for individualism is subtle and sophisticated; it is an indirect rational argument.

What is racism, rhetorically? It's a reflexive, irrational, all-encompassing alibi for black failure derived from a hyper-sensitivity to racially disparate outcomes; it is also, more familiarly - with few exceptions - whatever a black person says it is. What is racism in reality? It's the false belief that the intellectual, moral, or spiritual potentials of individual human beings are limited by the geographic origins of their distant ancestors; it is also any action predicated on that belief. Only when the rhetoric of racism ceases to be confused with the reality of racism, and only when the likes of Jackson, Sharpton, and the NAACP are met with ridicule, contempt, and deep heartfelt yawns, can an honest, rather than Clintonian, dialogue on race begin." - Mark Goldblatt

It is this kind of person that I can tolerate; this kind of person that I admire; this kind of person that I aim to be." - Gregoire

"The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures.

"But the question must be not whether a group recognizable in color, features or culture has its rights as a group. No, the question is whether any American individual, regardless of color, features or culture, is deprived of his rights as an American. If the individual has all the rights and privileges due him under the laws and the Constitution, we need not worry about groups and masses--those do not, in fact, exist, except as figures of speech." - New York Times Editorial

"I have no pity for people in bad situations, save for people born with genetic defects - every situation is salvagable, there are chances for everybody to make something of themselves in this world. Going through life is like playing solitare - winning is a matter of wanting to win, the chances are in your favor, there is no reason to fail. Bad people around you? Get rid of them. No money? Give me a break. People around you dying? Deal with it; if you can't then that must be a sign of your weakness. Pity is for saps. Grow up, get your s**t together, and make something of yourself. Nobody owes you anything, the only thing that keeps you from realizing your dreams is your own damn self. If you can't see beyond your petty little problems, then maybe you were supposed to live a harsh life, you deserve to suffer." - Juan Carlos Ramos

"That's true," said Roark. "I don't care whether you agree with me or not." He said it so simply that it did not sound offensive, it sounded like the statement of a fact which he noticed, puzzled, for the first time. "You don't care what others think - which might be understandable. But you don't care even to make them think as you do?" "No." "But that's... that's monstrous." "Is it? Probably, I couldn't say." " - Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy." - Casey Stengel
