"THE GREATEST DANGER before you is this: You live in an age when people would package and standardize your life for you—steal it from you and sell it back to you at a price. That price is very high."
-Granny D. (a.k.a. Doris Haddock), campaign finance reform activist, speaking to the Franklin Pierce College class of 2001, The Progressive Populist (June 15, 2001)"FOR ME, THE BIGGER ISSUE is to open my heart in a way that invites care, compassion, and thoughtfulness from others. This [AIDS] crisis is a metaphor that should teach all of us to be loving, if for no other reason than for love itself."
-Sharon Stone, actor and AIDS activist, Interview (July 2001)"I’VE GIVEN UP on the whole human species. I think a big, good-sized comet is exactly what this species needs. You know, the poor dinosaurs were walking around eating leaves, and they were completely wiped out. Let the insects have a go. You know, I don’t think they’ll come up with sneakers with lights in them, or Dust Busters, or Salad Shooters, or snot candy. . . . I only wish there were some way I could live out on the moon and watch it all on CNN. . . I just want to describe the mess. But life is dual. If you scratch a cynic, you’ll find a disappointed idealist."
-George Carlin, comedian, writer, The Progressive (July 2001)"When you have these news anchors on television, they should be flashing the amount of money they make. People should understand the economic strata they come from. They represent such a minority in this country and they interview their friends, basically. "
