More From John Hodgman

I think that one of the visions that is closest to reality is the cardboard city in the subway station in tokyo, which is based very closely on a series of documentary photographs of people living like that and of the contents of the boxes. those are quite haunting because tokyo homeless people reiterate the whole nature of living in tokyo in these cardboard boxes, they're only slightly smaller than tokyo apartments, and they have almost as many consumer goods. it's a nightmare of boxes within boxes.

When its 100 degrees in new york, it's 72 in los angeles. when its 30 degrees in new york, in los angeles it's still 72. however, there are 6 million interesting people in new york, and only 72 in los angeles.

One of the interesting things about los angeles is that it's still supplying the whole of the world with its dreams through movies and songs and tv - often of an all-american family at the same time as the real los angeles is peopled by souls from vietnam, guatemala, and korea who look nothing like the images being beamed out. i think all that is going to have to change and illusion is going to have to catch up with reality in that regard.

No nation ever taxed itself into prosperity. you could afford your house without the government-if it weren't for the government. character matters; leadership descends from character. if you commit a crime, you're guilty. compassion is no substitute for justice. poverty is not the root cause of crime. the los angeles riots were not caused by the rodney king verdict. the los angeles riots were caused by rioters.
