But nearly.  (P J ORourke Quotes) Wealth is not a pizza, where if I have too many slices you have to eat the Domino’s box  (P J ORourke Quotes) Sometimes the right response to evil is an appeal to powerful and effective social organization - an appeal to civilization itself.  (P J ORourke Quotes) Corporate corruption has ecological merits.

Some people have theories; these can be disproven. But people with opinions are mindless and have their minds made up about it.  (P J ORourke Quotes) Ideology, politics and journalism, which luxuriate in failure, are impotent in the face of hope and joy.  (P J ORourke Quotes) The Bible is very clear about one thing: Using politics to create fairness is a sin  (P J ORourke Quotes) My whole family can talk. They are all car salesmen. They are all funny.  (P J ORourke Quotes) The idea of a world where all people are alike - in wealth or in anything else - is a fantasy for the stupid.  (P J ORourke Quotes) Arguing, in the sense of attempting to convince others, has gone out of fashion with conservatives  (P J ORourke Quotes) The only advantage to being a middle-aged man is that when you put on a jacket and tie, you’re the Scary Dad.

Now it’s up to liberals to make it a reality. Hence there is crucial importance in preventing powerful, greedy free market forces from getting in the way of worsening storms and rising sea levels. The Kyoto Accord is a good first step.  (P J ORourke Quotes) As a longtime former resident of 15 years in Washington, I wish that everybody would stay off the Mall with their political cause so that we can get out there, you know, and play flag football or Frisbee, or walk the dog or something - you know, which is, you know, what the National Mall should be for, in my personal opinion.  (P J ORourke Quotes) All religious believers should be licensed to make sure that they are competent to hold opinions and viewpoints and that they don’t believe in just any old thing, such as creationism or a flat tax.  (P J ORourke Quotes) Pete Seeger is a modest, unassuming, cheerful, and kind-natured man.
