Most ignorance is by choice, you know, and so ignorance is very telling about what really matters to people.

Kim Stanley Robinson

Red Mars

If democracy and self-rule are the fundamentals, then why should people give up these rights when they enter their workplace? In politics we fight like tigers for freedom, for the right to elect our leaders, for freedom of movement, choice of residence, choice of what work to pursue—control of our lives, in short. And then we wake up in the morning and go to work, and all those rights disappear. We no longer insist on them. And so for most of the day we return to feudalism. That is what capitalism is—a version of feudalism in which capital replaces land, and business leaders replace kings. But the hierarchy remains. And so we still hand over our lives' labor, under duress, to feed rulers who do no real work.

"And with regard to my factual reporting of the events of the war I have made it a principle not to write down the first story that came my way, and not even to be guided by my own general impressions; either I was present myself at the events which I have described or else I heard them from eye-witnesses whose reports I have checked with as much thoroughness as possible."

And with respect to the Neil Young/Kurt Cobain thing, Cobain quoted that line of Young's in his suicide note. Young responded to this with the album 'Sleeps with Angels' which he dedicated to Cobain.

HSimpson
* Stealing? How could you?! Haven't you learned anything from that guy who gives those sermons at church? Captain what's-his-name?

George W. Bush:
Our nation must come together to unite.

H Simpson
* [when cornered off by a rhino] Jesus, Alla, Buddha...I love you all!

George W. Bush:
He can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road.

H Simpson
* I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T...

H Simpson

George W. Bush:
One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.

H Simpson
Don't worry. Being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep... in a blender.

George W. Bush:
You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

H Simpson
* Son, when you attend sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get

Anyone starting to see the similarities?

Difference is, Homer never killed anyone, much less thousands upon thousands of people. So benign he'd make a far better president (not that that would be difficult or anything).

"Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you have claimed to fight for

Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil

Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us

Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil

Not by our will
and Not in our name"
- Saul Williams, The Pledge of Resistance
