Mark McTague Mark McTague said: " For fans of Rumpole, especially as embodied by the late fine actor Leo McKern, for those who also loved the video series, little needs be said. All the delights are here - the barrister's endless duels with the forces of repression and sanctimony - p ...more "

Fernando Pessoa
“We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin.”
Fernando Pessoa

Marcus Aurelius
“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“What white middle America loathes these days are poor and poorish people, especially the kind who look and sound like they just might live in a house trailer. They will swear on a stack of Lands' End catalogs that they are not bigots, but, human nature being what it is, we are all kicking someone else's dog around, whether we admit it or not.”
Joe Bageant, Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War

“If middle-class Americans do not feel threatened by the slow encroachment of the police state or the Patriot Act, it is because they live comfortably enough and exercise their liberties very lightly, never testing the boundaries. You never know you are in a prison unless you try the door.”
Joe Bageant, Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War

“The four cornerstones of the American political psyche are 1) emotion substituted for thought, 2) fear, 3) ignorance and 4) propaganda”
Joe Bageant, Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War
