The status quo is never news, only challenges to it.

You have the same smile, the same shaped eyes, the same way of tilting your head to listen, the same stubborn streak, the same common sense. Lots of things about you and him are the same.

The status quo sucks.

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.

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