Ridicule Is About The Most Powerful Weapon

For The Trustees To Turn Away From The Entirely Reasonable Request Of The Students That A Hearing-impaired Individual Be Made President Of The College Is A Very Unfortunate Expression Of Insensitivity.

Most People Who Are Activists And Are Concerned About Issues Get Their Information From Sources Which Reinforce Their Opinions And Give Them The Facts That They Want To Hear.

But It Is Also Clear That Left Entirely Untouched By Public Policy, The Capitalist System Will Produce More Inequality Than Is Socially Healthy Or Than Is Necessary For Maximum Efficiency.

Trying To Avert Foreclosures, Once You Can't Just Force The Banks To Do It As A Condition Of Getting Aid, Means That You Have To Put Some Public Money Into It Or You Have To Do Other Things That Are Politically Unpopular. From The Macroeconomic Standpoint There Is Overwhelming Need To Help People Reduce What They Owe So That We Don't Get The Foreclosures And We Don't Get People Kicked Out Of Their Homes. On The Other Hand, There Is Great Resistance Politically To Helping People, Not All Of Whom Would Be Worth Recipients Of The Help.

And I Think There Is Too Much Bloviating Around From Politicians.
