We incarcerate more African-American men today than were slaves in 1850.

Today's average American is more apt to rebel against a tennis shoe not coming in the right color than against the slow erosion of our democratic freedom.

When it comes to politics today, the devils' not in the details; the devil's in the big picture, more often than not just hiding in plain sight.

I read an article somewhere that stated 1 in 4 American women will be considered clinically depressed in their lifetime. This should be more than a gold mine for pharmaceutical companies - it should be a wake-up call.

In the name of feminism, we denied some essential aspects of our authentic selves. While feminism should have been nothing if not a celebration of our own unique characteristics, we insisted that we had no unique characteristics... that gender differences were hogwash, and a feminine woman was nothing more than a plaything for men.

Today, most Americans are too cynical, or tired, or both, to even approximate our Founders' courageous repudiation of injustice.
