"As a matter of fact, violence usually comes from people who are holding down their feelings & feel pushed past their endurance to control themselves. If they felt able to just shout or cry, they wouldn't have to break anything. Remember, feelings are allowed. Any feelings... as long as they're only feelings, & as long as you're the only one who knows about them. Confronting other people requires that you try to be reasonable & fair... so, you simply deal with them before you go public. When you've calmed down, you might decide it's unwise to mention them to anyone -- or you might decide it's the wisest thing in the world. Once the emotional storm has passed, reason will make an appearance to help you choose." --- Barbara Sher & Barbara Smith 1994 _I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was_ pg 127 |
"While I am exceedingly interested in having tax reduction, it can only be brought about as a result of economy, & therefore it seems to me that the Chamber of Commerce & all others that are interested in tax reduction ought to be 1st of all bending their energies to see that no unwise expenditures are authorized by the gov't, & that every possible effort is put forth to keep our expenditures down, & pay off our debt, so that we can have tax reduction." --- Calvin Coolidge 1927 (quoted in John J. Miller 1998 December "ReBirth of Cool Cal" _Reason_ pp 67-68) |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

"A climate of repression succeeds not by statistical frequency but by sapping the courage, autonomy, & conscience of individuals who otherwise might remember or revive what liberty could be. The claim that McCarthyism was a myth, & that a small number of anecdotes have been recycled to create the appearance of systematic repression, would be met with incredulous (& justifiable) outrage by the left. Human history teaches that those who wield power rarely see their own abuse of it. This failing pervades the entire ideological, political, cultural, & historical spectrum. It is an issue not of left & right but of human ethical incapacity. Those who exercise power, in any domain, tend to compare their actual power to their ultimate goals, usually concluding that they have barely any power at all &, certainly, that they are not abusing what little they have." --- Alan C. Kors & Harvey A. Silverglate 1998 November "Codes of Silence: Who's gagging free speech on campus -- & why" _Reason_ pg 29 |
