So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can't even get to the office without undergoing the agon...ies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and, vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Anyone informed that the universe is expanding and contracting in pulsations of eighty billion years has a right to ask, "What's i...n it for me?"LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Imagine spending four billion years stocking the oceans with seafood, filling the ground with fossil fuels, and drilling the bees ...in honey production--only to produce a race of bed-wetters!LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
... men and women are not yet free.... The slavery of greed endures. Little child workers, the hope of the future, are sacrificed ...to industry. Young men are sent out by the billion to die for profits.... We must destroy industrial slavery and build industrial democracy.... The people everywhere must come into possession of the earth [second, third, and fourth ellipses in source].LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Despite many assertions to the contrary, the brain is not "like a computer." Yes, the brain has many electrical connections, just ...like a computer. But at each point in a computer only a binary decision can be made--yes or no, on or off, 0 or 1. Each point in the brain, each brain cell, contains all the genetic information necessary to reproduce the entire organism. A brain cell is not a switch. It has a memory; it can be subtle. Each brain cell is like a computer. The brain is like a hundred billion computers all connected together. It is impossible to understand because it is too complex. As Emerson Pugh wrote, "If the human brain was so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't."LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We pay taxes to the government and what do we get--not even protection from the army. I don't know what the government has come to.... Instead of protecting businessmen, it pokes its nose into business. Hm. Well they're even talking now about having bank examiners. As if we bankers don't know how to run our own banks. Why I actually have a letter from a popinjay official saying they're going to inspect my books. I have a slogan that should be placed on every newspaper in the country. America for Americans. The government must not interfere with business. Reduce taxes. Our national debt is something shocking--over $1 billion a year. What this country needs is a businessman for president.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We are for aiding our allies by sharing some of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, ...but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107. We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a 2-million-dollar yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
