Television Is Democracy At Its Ugliest.

Television Is Not The Truth! Television Is A Goddamned Amusement Park. Television Is A Circus, A Carnival, A Travelling Troupe Of Acrobats And Story-tellers, Singers And Dancers, Jugglers, Sideshow Freaks, Lion-tamers And Football Players. We're In The Boredom-killing Business!

It's Always The Generals With The Bloodiest Records Who Are The First To Shout What A Hell It Is. And It's Always The War Widows Who Lead The Memorial Day Parades.

The First Dead Man On Omaha Beach Must Be A Sailor!

I'm A Human Being, God-dammit. My Life Has Value!
