You said it!

You've got me blowing, blowing my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time?

In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone. . . . There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed majority assailed by truth.

-- John Kenneth Galbraith, 1989

There's a certain part of the contented majority who love anybody who is worth a billion dollars. . . . The contented and economically comfortable have a very discriminating view of government. Nobody is ever indignant about bailing out failed banks and failed savings and loans associations. . . . But when taxes must be paid for the lower middle class and poor, the government assumes an aspect of wickedness.

-- John Kenneth Galbraith, 1992

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform.

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.

-- Ezra Pound

O generation of the thoroughly smug
and thoroughly uncomfortable,
I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,
I have seen them with untidy families,
I have seen their smiles full of teeth
and heard ungainly laughter.
And I am happier than you are,
And they were happier than I am;
And the fish swim in the lake
and do not even own clothing.

-- Ezra Pound
