Alexis de Tocqueville
On Democracy in America (1835, 1840):
***
A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it.
***
America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
***
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
***
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.
***
The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.
***
Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.

Fly Me to the Moon is a very cute little movie. Nostalgic too. Three little boy flies stow away on Apollo 11 so they can go to space and the moon. The CGI of the moon landing is terrific.

I wonder what people who get on an airplane for the first time think. I mean because the aisles on TV and in the movies are so wide, and there’s room between the rows… Real airplanes aren’t like that at all.

For New York's Junior Senate Seat
If Governor Paterson is going to appoint someone to fill Hillary Clinton’s seat, perhaps he should choose Charlie Rangel. That way Roland Burris won’t be alone in the Senate and we can get Charlie off the House Ways and Means Committee.
