POLITICAL SNOBBERY: "Student radicals accuse me of organizing the poor for decadent, degenerate, bourgeois, bankrupt, immoral values. But do you know what the poor want? They want a bigger slice of those decadent, degenerate, bourgeois, bankrupt, immoral values." REVOLUTION: "After you have the power, you can begin to confront the issues. Until that time, it's what we call diaper tactics."
BLACK POWER: "The black in the gray flannel dashiki is an animated abstract wandering around making revolution only in his rhetoric."
