I’ve dropped my pebble in the ocean, and hopefully; throughout the course of the day; millions of others will drop theirs in too. No single one of us knows which pebble causes the wave to...

Once the people have been deluded into believing that speeches and voting are the only acceptable tools by which to affect change in their nation, those who are in control no longer need to worry...

Not only is democracy mystical nonsense, it is also immoral. If one man has no right to impose his wishes on another, then ten million men have no right to impose their wishes on the...

We must try again to be alive to what the people of our country really long for in our national life: forgiveness and grace, maturity and wisdom….Our political leaders will know our priorities only if...

Love, it’s overrated in my book. Really, in my book I gave it 11 out of 10 stars. But stars are like political votes. Who’s really counting?

They’re not connecting the dots between tuition increases and voting. So it’s important to connect these dots to the issues.

This year, if I’m voting, I’m voting for Colon.

Her name is Shelen, and I think she probably has a brother named Helen. He is Helen, a male with a female’s name, but life could be worse. He could be a liar, a thief,...

Every election is determined by the people who show up.

I think we would be able to pick up voting patterns very early, and I’m very anxious to find out what it will show.

Vote? What’s so fun about voting? You should never vote, everyone knows that. If you vote and your guy wins you can’t later complain because you helped put him there. That’s why I never vote,...

And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women – except, of course —those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own...

I feel very strongly that once someone has paid the penalty for the felony they have committed, that their voting rights should be restored.

I am naïve and I have fucked up but I tell you something else. I believe in change. I don’t mind getting my hands dirty because my hands are dirty already. I don’t mind giving...
