More From Jacques Ellul

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.

Give the money directly to people who work hard. instead of taking the money from the business and then filtering it through the horror of government programs, which is essentially giving it to social workers who live in bethesda so they can drive their minivans and vote democratic. give them the money, so that they go and talk to the worker who is washing dishes, and they say, "well, we want to help you, you see." and it would be better to help them by taking the money from that minivan-driving social worker and giving it directly to the guy who is really working hard by washing dishes.

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.

I think, in fact, there's a plus and a minus to knowing my prior work, happiness and so forth. the plus is of course you can see how i play with the characters, the storylines, and the way things play off each other. and the minus is that it makes you a little bit more self-conscious, that you're not able to enter the movie as it exists and lives and breathes, because you're so busy making references, connections that you're not able to release yourself from and take the film on your own terms.
Character Thinking Busy
If hillary clinton would have left bill, that would have ended his presidency, not via impeachment but that would have elevated his total lack of character. it would have been the discussion. it would have been the topic point. she shielded all that. there would have been no vast right-wing conspiracy theme that the media did pick up to blame for all that. there wouldn't have been any hillary and bill foundation. there wouldn't have been all this fundraising. if she hadn't, she wouldn't have been picked for obama's whatever if she had run and lost, if everything else had happened.
