4. "Back in the 1970s, dissidents in the Soviet Union were often hospitalized in mental institutions and given drugs similar to the ones used to treat depression today.

"The system has to be sound -- after all, it validates my professional status -- therefore the problem must be with you."
Author: Charles Eisenstein

12. "The working people of the Flint area hated this rag, but it was our only daily so you read it. Everyone called it the "Flint Urinal."

Author: Michael Moore
