«In public services, we lag behind all the industrialized nations of the West, preferring that the public money go not to the people but to big business. The result is a unique society in wich we have free enterprise for the poor and socialism for the rich.» Dreaming War: Blood for Oil in the Cheney-Bush Junta

«As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are used to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.» United States, Essays 1952-1992
