ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND

 


 

“When I was in college, there were certain words you couldn't say in front of a girl. Now you can say them, but you can't say 'girl'”

TOM LEHRER – 1928 – (satirisch singer-songwriter)

 


“Satire died the day they gave Henry Kissinger the Nobel Peace Prize.” (Kissinger was the U.S. Secretary of State who masterminded the carpet bombing of Cambodia.)

"Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
