"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
Woodrow Wilson,The New Freedom (1913)

Ps sorry to bombard you with quotes again! If no ones interested, tell me to stop! {Ed033's Note - How about posting something from yourself.}
Personally I find quotes much more insightful, and believe them to be a much greater source for info than mere opinion. don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that opinion doesn't matter, it does. Everyone is entitled to the own opinion. However, it is based on their own perception. Why not put out a quote and allow people to make up their own minds. {Ed001's Note - what he meant was to post your insight into the quote, rather than just the quote. The quotes are interesting, but so is learning what someone else gets from them.}

In fairness to JQuan, I like reading his quotes as long as they tie in with themes on here. I think it was JQuan who was putting up quotes the other day of things like Kennedy's speech that got him shot, that sort of thing, and as long as it is topical I like it. I think by using the quote he/she is telling us his/her own way what stance they have don't you think. That is how academics do it.... they never say 'I think', they just collate things that peers have said that have been academically acknowledged and forward them, and the reader then divulges what the person thinks.
Jquan I guess others think it would be nice to hear your own opinion but don't stop the quotes!
