Government breeds more government, and a lobbying infrastructure to defend itself.

The status quo sucks.

When something really bad is going on in a culture, the average guy doesn’t see it. He can’t. He’s average. And is surrounded by and immersed in the cant and discourse of the status quo.

The status quo is simply unacceptable.

Just because the question can be answered doesn't mean that anyone is obliged to answer it, or that it ought to be asked.

Is there a status quo in the house?
