The War on Drugs employs millions – politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military – that probably couldnt find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners. – L. Neil Smith
It is a safe rule to apply that, when a mathematical or philosophical author writes with a misty profundity, he is talking nonsense. – Alfred North Whitehead
I wanted the feel in these books to be like an epic fantasy, with kings, queens, dukes and court politics, but of course like what I was explaining before, about making the science make sense, you have to make the politics make sense, too. – Kevin J. Anderson
