Making information free is survivable so long as only limited numbers of people are disenfranchised. as much as it pains me to say so, we can survive if we only destroy the middle classes of musicians, journalists, and photographers. what is not survivable is the additional destruction of the middle classes in transportation, manufacturing, energy, office work, education, and health care. and all that destruction will come surely enough if the dominant idea of an information economy isn't improved.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. hunger is a weapon of mass destruction. poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction. poor education is a weapon of mass destruction. discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction. let us abolish such weapons of mass destruction here at home.

Too few journalists become screenwriters. i say to all the would-be screenwriters: become journalists. and i’ll say to working journalists: do not stay journalists. become screenwriters.

Although a government study found that men's health was much worse than women's health or the health of any minority group, headlines around the country read: 'minorities face large health care gap.' they did not say: 'men face large health care gap.' why? because we associate the sacrifice of men's lives with the saving of the rest of us, and this association leads us to carry in our unconscious an incentive not to care about men living longer.

'against my will i am sent to bid you come in to dinner;' there's a double meaning in that... (much ado about nothing)

The democrats are going to tax everybody through the roof. it is going to be focused on people that are wealthy because that's who they can tax. when you look at the stimulus plan - see, this doesn't make any sense, this is not working, it's not going to work, it's not intended to work the way we all were told it was gonna work. health care is not going to get better. it's gonna get worse. it's gonna get rationed. the economy, the energy sector, nothing is being improved here. everything's being wrecked.

I get so much from having the opportunity to interface with the younger people and to bring information to them and to represent our culture and our way of life. the feeling and the warmth and the love, it's unbelievable. the type of exchange that goes on between students and teachers or visiting people who are doing master classes, and not just when they're musicians. even general classes, when the students are not necessarily musicians.

My art teacher in junior high was a very out gay man and a mentor to me.
Teacher Art Gay
The teacher is no longer merely the-one-who-teaches, but one who is him/herself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach. they become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow.

A good teacher is someone who can help you to get back to a teacher within.
