"Since 1999, student debt has increased more than 500 percent, yet the average starting salary for graduates has dropped 10 percent, adjusted for inflation. Student debts can't be cancelled in bankruptcy. A default brings penalties and ruins a credit rating. To make matters worse, the job market for new graduates remains lousy. Which is why record numbers are still living at home." - Robert Reich

"It's good to be able to deal with anger somehow other than drinking, fighting, crashing cars, hitting your kid, your wife, your husband, your whatever. Paintbrushes, pens, movie cameras, guitars, microphones, typewriters - these are good things. Weights. These are positive ways, good ways to deal with anger, frustration, alienation, rage. 'Cause all the other ways do nothing but hurt people." - Henry Rollins

"But when it comes to women, a single selfish or not-nice act - a stolen kiss, a lie, a brushoff - is somehow enough to see them condemned as whores and bitches forever. We readily excuse our favorite male characters of murder, but if a woman politely turns down a date with someone she has no interest in, she's a timewasting user bimbo and god, what does he even see in her? ... It's not just our cultural obsession with pushing increasingly specific variants of the Madonna/Whore complex onto women, such that audiences are disinclined to extend to female characters the same moral/emotional licenses they extend to men; it's also a failure to create narratives where the women aren't just flawed, but where 'the audience is still encouraged to like them when they are.'" - Foz Meadows
