Our democracy is not perfect. But it's better than the bloody dictatorships. Capitalism is unjust. But it's not criminal like Stalinism. We let millions of Africans die of AIDS, but we don't make racist nationalist declarations like Milosevic. We kill Iraqis with our airplanes, but we don't cut their throats with machetes like they do in Rwanda, etc. (Alain Badiou) >> More Alain Badiou Quotations...
This is terrible. It's a frightening business, and it takes you back to the bad old days when kidnapping was standard practice in this country during the era of the military dictatorships. We all know this is something we don't want any more. It hurts for those of us that love Juan Roman. I would say that if this takes off in our country, it is never going to stop. (Diego Maradona) >> More Diego Maradona Quotations...
