- A predatory capitalist's greatest enemy, and humanity's greatest ally, is the self-educated individual who has read, understood, delays their gratification, and walks around with their eyes wide open.
Four Horsemen - I came very close to mailing him two dead creeping charlies in exchange for the lyrics to this song.

- Kittens play with yarn, they bat it around. What they're really doing is saying, "I can't knit, get this away from me... You knit the sweater"
Heehee... Mitch Hedberg - Matthew 10:14 Shake Off the Dust
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. - Matthew 7:16 Casting Pearls Before Swine
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. - Matthew 7:15 Sheep in Wolve’s Clothing
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. - Matthew 7:12 The Golden Rule
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
- Matthew 7:12 The Golden Rule
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
- I fell in love with this man's brain as soon as he spoke the word "panopticon", followed by "Michel Foucault"...

- Edward Elgar must have written his last cello concerto so that Jaqueline du Pre could play it with Daniel Barenboim. No one in history has come close to her level of expressivity.

- "Feminism is the political theory and practice to free all women; women of color, working class women, poor women, physically challenged women, lesbians, old women, as well as white economically privileged heterosexual women. Anything less than this is not feminism, but merely female self-aggrandizement". Barbara Smith, This Bridge Called My Back
- On the global scale, the customer demographic of luxury goods is not white men with careers in corporate America smoking their big fat cigars or blonde hair, blue eyed ladies who lunch at Saks. Will you serve your true big spenders or are you caught up on thinking that this is some kind of asian invasion?
Why knowing your luxury customers is a necessity https://www.epsilon.com/a-brand-new-view/region/us/knowing-luxury-customers-necessity/ - "It must be that the increase comes of the inborn human instinct to imitate--that and man's commonest weakness, his aversion to being unpleasantly conspicuous, pointed at, shunned, as being on the unpopular side. Its other name is Moral Cowardice, and is the commanding feature of the make-up of 9,999 men in the 10,000. I am not offering this as a discovery; privately the dullest of us knows it to be true". Mark Twain
- "Those of us who stand outside the circle of this society's definition of acceptable women; those of us who have been forged in the crucibles of difference -- those of us who are poor, who are lesbians, who are Black, who are older -- know that survival is not an academic skill. It is learning how to take our differences and make them strengths. For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. And this fact is only threatening to those women who still define the master's house as their only source of support." Audre Lorde
- ‘Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth, its “general politics” of truth: that is, the types of discourse which it accepts and makes function as true; the mechanisms and instances which enable one to distinguish true and false statements, the means by which each is sanctioned; the techniques and procedures accorded value in the acquisition of truth; the status of those who are charged with saying what counts as true’ Michel Foucault
Not exactly a science, perhaps through my personal “battle for the truth” I am just waiting for Godot.
