No other agency is scrutinized like the police. everything we do is in a goldfish bowl. we are not the most popular people in society. we do things like use deadly force; we're the bearers of bad news. we're not firefighters, who are viewed as heroic, helping people, with people loving them back. the police have a much more complex and demanding job.

Frank couldn't breathe underwater. but where was he? percy turned in a full circle. nothing. then he glanced up. hovering above him was a giant goldfish. frank had turned -clothes, backpack, and all- into a koi the size of a teen-aged boy. "dude." percy sent his thoughts through the water, the way he spoke to other sea creatures. "a goldfish?" frank's voice came back to him: "i freaked. we were talking about goldfish, so it was on my mind. sue me.

It is much, much worse to receive bad news through the written word than by somebody simply telling you, and i’m sure you understand why. when somebody simply tells you bad news, you hear it once, and that’s the end of it. but when bad news is written down, whether in a letter or a newspaper or on your arm in felt tip pen, each time you read it, you feel as if you are receiving the bad news again and again.
Receiving News Letters
My charity is in the business of helping firefighters in any way that we can. for instance, after 9/11 we were the second-fastest charity to raise and distribute money to the widows and surviving family members of the 343 firefighters who died that day.

Now your kids can't escape. thirteen-year-olds back then, if they didn't watch the evening news, they didn't see news. if they didn't watch the 6:30 or seven p.m. news, they didn't see news. today younger people have much more access to that kind of hard news than you did when you were 13 back then.

The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. in a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. all the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. if some "pacifist" society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. such a society would achieve the opposite of its intention: instead of abolishing evil, it would encourage and reward it.

We've seen a departure from the traditional work of the national security agency. they've become sort of the national hacking agency, the national surveillance agency. and they've lost sight of the fact that everything they do is supposed to make us more secure as a nation and a society.

The securitisation of mortgages added a new dimension of systemic risk. financial engineers claimed they were reducing risks through geographic diversification: in fact they were increasing them by creating an agency problem. the agents were more interested in maximising fee income than in protecting the interests of bondholders. that is the verity that was ignored by regulators and market participants alike.
Creating Agency Risk
Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. they cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. they are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the metropolitan opera.
