A war film can be propaganda and they're very valuable as propaganda, as we realized in britain in the second world war. film as propaganda is a very valuable tool. it can also demonize, which is the dangerous side of a war film as propaganda. but there are war films that are not propaganda. it's just saying 'this is what it's like.' for 99 percent of us we don't know what it's like. we have no idea. so to reveal that to the audience is powerful.

Economists often talk about the 80/20 principle, which is the idea that in any situation roughly 80 percent of the “work” will be done by 20 percent of the participants. in most societies, 20 percent of criminals commit 80 percent of crimes. twenty percent of motorists cause 80 percent of all accidents. twenty percent of beer drinkers drink 80 percent of all beer. when it comes to epidemics, though, this disproportionality becomes even more extreme: a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.

I know teddy kennedy had fun at the democratic convention when he said that i said that trees and vegetation caused 80 percent of the air pollution in this country. ... well, now he was a little wrong about what i said. i didn't say 80 percent. i said 92 percent-93 percent, pardon me. and i didn't say air pollution, i said oxides of nitrogen. growing and decaying vegetation in this land are responsible for 93 percent of the oxides of nitrogen. ... if we are totally successful and can eliminate all the manmade oxides of nitrogen, we'll still have 93 percent as much as we have in the air today.

Regarding the economy & taxation: america's most successful achievers do pay a higher share of the total tax burden. the top one percent income earners paid 18 percent of the total tax burden in 1981, and paid 25 percent in 1991. the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid only 8 percent of the total tax burden, and paid only 5 percent in 1991. history shows that tax cuts have always resulted in improved economic growth producing more tax revenue in the treasury.

The gnostics believed that exile was the essential condition of man. do you agree? i do. the artist and the addict both wrestle with this experience of exile. they share an acute, even excruciating sensitivity to the state of separation and isolation, and both actively seek a way to overcome it, to transcend it, or at least to make the pain go away. what is the pain of being human? it's the condition of being suspended between two worlds and being unable to fully enter into either.
