«I think U.S. citizens are trained at a young age to fully inhale the system, the rhetoric and ideologies surrounding democracy, capitalism, religion, family life...If the wizard is exposed, and we realize we?ve been lied to, it?s frightening, like political vertigo or instantaneous sobriety. After all, once you?ve seen the light, there?s no going back and, at that point, whether you like it or not, you are accountable to truth and responsible for creating change.»
«I don?t doubt that Bush probably believes most of his own rhetoric (even he couldn?t possibly believe it all) and somewhere in the dark recesses of the vacant space left behind after he sold his soul to the devil?he probably believes that ultimately, his intentions are good.

«I'm the enemy because I like to think. I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy that could sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the side order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese. Okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the nonsmoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I might suddenly feel the need to. Okay, pal?»

«I remember when you couldn?t even mention environmental issues without a snicker. But then in the 70?s people got tired of seeing the Cuyahoga River catch on fire from all the chemicals. So one day millions of Americans marched. Politicians had no choice but to take notice. Twelve Congressmen were dubbed the Dirty Dozen, and soon after seven were kicked out of office. The floodgates were opened. We got the Clean Air Act, The Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water. We created the EPA. The quality of life improved because concerned citizens made their issues matter in elections.»
