More From Richard Rorty

... if we take the universe of 'fitting,' countless coats 'fit' backs, and countless boots 'fit' feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones 'fit' gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. in the same way countless opinions 'fit' realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.

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.
Success Cutting America
An institution which is financed by a budget - or which enjoys a monopoly which the customer cannot escape - is rewarded for what it deserves rather than what it earns. it is paid for 'good intentions' and 'programs'. it is paid for not alienating important constituents rather than satisfying any one group. it is misdirected by the way it is being paid into defining performance and results as what will produce the budget rather than as what will produce contribution.

The novel is perhaps the highest art form because it so closely resembles life: it is about human relationships. it's technique, page by page, resembles our technique of living day by day-a way of relating.

We as a people, as a state, and as a community, have too much promise, too much potential, and too much at stake to go any other way than forward. we are too strong in our hearts, too innovative in our minds, and too firm in our beliefs to retreat from our goals.
