If you take a walk around ouagadougou and make a list of the mansions you see, you will note that they belong to just a minority. how many of you who have been assigned to ouagadougou from the farthest corners of the country have had to move every night because you've been thrown out of the house you have rented? to those who have acquired houses and land through corruption we say: start to tremble. if you have stolen, tremble, because we will come after you

There's a lot of debate on this subject - about what kind of car handles best. some say a a front-engined car, some say a rear-engined car. i say a rented car. nothing handles better than a rented car. you can go faster, turn corners sharper, and put the transmission into reverse while going forward at a higher rate of speed in a rented car than in any other kind.

This was mahatma gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. we belong to the land. we are not the owners of the land. we are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. the fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.

Throughout our history, there has been a long list of those we've been conditioned to hate. the british, french, spanish, germans, japanese, russians, communists, northern koreans, vietnamese, iranians, taliban, and both northerners and southerners in america are some of the people we've been encouraged at various times to call enemies and to hate. the list is long, and as time passes, those we were assigned to hate we later were told should be removed from our hate list. the enemy is obviously hatred itself. have empathy for your assigned enemy.

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

Land taxes is the thing. they got so high that there is no chance to make anything. not only land but all property tax. you see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. they never ask if the land makes anything. "it's land ain't it? well tax it then."

I was an advocate of the deregulation movement and i made - along with a lot of other smart people - a fundamental mistake. the financial industry undergirded the entire economy and if it is made riskier by deregulation and collapses in widespread bankruptcies as what happened in 2008, the entire economy freezes because it runs on credit.

When ai approximates machine intelligence, then many online and computer-run rpgs will move towards actual rpg activity. nonetheless, that will not replace the experience of 'being there,' any more than seeing a theatrical motion picture can replace the stage play.
