"America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings." Barack Obama

"America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between." Oscar Wilde

"America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." Hunter S. Thompson

I disagree. Overall, I think we're still in the late stages of barbarism. Civilization is coming.

America needs to be a lot more like the Waltons and a lot less like the Simpsons. - George H. W. Bush, the Elder Bush.

I loved The Waltons! Never liked the Simpsons -- I may be the only person who has ever said that. I think I have watched perhaps 3 full episodes of The Simpsons.
