  5. A quotation from George Carlin

       So maybe it’s not the politicians who suck; maybe it’s something else. Like the public. That would be a nice realistic campaign slogan for somebody: “The public sucks. Elect me.” Put the blame where it belongs: on the people.
       Because if everything is really the fault of politicians, where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans who are ready to step in and replace them? Where are these people hiding? The truth is, we don’t have people like that. Everyone’s at the mall, scratching his balls and buying sneakers with lights in them. And complaining about the politicians.

    George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian
    Book (2001), Napalm & Silly Putty, “Don’t Blame the Leaders”

  15. A quotation from Cicero

    He won over the ignorant masses with shows, building projects, largesses, and banquets. His followers he bound to him by rewards, his opponents by an apparent clemency. In short, he succeeded in bringing a free country, partly because of its fear, partly because of its passivity, to an acceptance of servitude.
     
    [Muneribus, monumentis, congiariis, epulis multitudinem imperitam delenierat; suos praemiis, adversarios clementiae specie devinxerat. Quid multa? Attulerat iam liberae civitati partim metu partim patientia consuetudinem serviendi.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 2, ch. 45 / sec. 116 (2.45/2.116) (44-10-24 BC) [tr. Berry (2006)]

  18. A quotation from John Adams

    But this is an unalterable Truth, that the People can never be enslaved but by their own Tameness, Pusillanimity, Sloth or Corruption. They may be deceived, and their Symplicity, Ignorance, and Docility render them frequently liable to deception. And of this, the aspiring, designing, ambitious few are very sensible. He is the Statesman qualifyed by Nature to scatter Ruin and Destruction in his Path who by deceiving a Nation can render Despotism desirable in their Eyes and make himself popular in Undoing.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Diary (1772, Spring), “Notes for a Oration at Braintree”

    Boomeři by to nikdy nedovolil


    Ale no tak! Vy mladí máte takové podmínky, o kterých se nám boomerům ani nesnilo(excel tabulka, kde jsem počítal náklady po desetníkách).
    Obecně je zvyšující se životní úroveň velmi efektivní baby killer. Příčina je tedy jinde. Proprodukční politka selhala úplně všude ve vyspělých státech, byť asi může trochu pomoci. Řešení neznám.

    Doporučuji k přečtení, ale je to nakonec trochu depresivní
