When you have a precedent set like that, and you have somebody, George Tenet, acknowledging in his book that he knew that the administration was deceiving the American people into a situation that is murdering young men and women from this country and others, that George Tenet and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush, et al., should be in f**king jail.
Sean Penn

Michael Scheuer
Waging war on his enemies had been Sokolov’s habit and his profession for a long time, but being chivalrous to everyone else was simply a basic tenet of having your shit together as a human and as a man.
Neal Stephenson
Even if we accept, as the basic tenet of true democracy, that one moron is equal to one genius, is it necessary to go a further step and hold that two morons are better than one genius?
Leo Szilard
Feror ego veluti
sine nauta navis,
ut per vias
vaga fertur avis,
non me tenent vincula,
non me tenet clavis,
Quêro mihi similes,
et adiungor pravis.Archpoet
