accustomed among contender country deserve equal freedom given larger life theirs wealth weight
All my life, Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as 'the richest, freest' country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described.
nuclear object powers prevent
The whole nuclear-arms-control and non-proliferation policy of the nuclear powers is a fraud: The Americans could not prevent the Soviets from replicating their weaponry, and then could not object when the British did the same.
loyalty personality company
Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.
hypocrite sitting biden
It is galling to see such mendacious hypocrites as Kennedy and Biden at the Senate Judiciary Committee sitting in judgment on distinguished jurists.
shame
I don't have any shame.
mercy asks
I never ask for mercy and seek no one's sympathy.
greed opinion has-beens
Greed has been severely underestimated and denigrated - unfairly so, in my opinion.
anti-bullying mind opinion
I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.
mistake promise trying
I may have made a mistake in renouncing my Canadian citizenship, which I have never ceased to promise to try to regain.
hypocrite government people
The argument of socialists, that people really want to share, beyond a reasonable level of charity, is rubbish, though it is espoused by a lot of rich, pious hypocrites who want to share only enough to avoid widespread starvation, mob violence, and government seizure of more of their incomes.
fads governance corporate
Like all fads, corporate governance has its zealots
facts exaggerated watergate
The facts of Watergate have been wildly exaggerated.
wealth chiefs
Maximising my wealth was never my chief thing.
general opinions people respect whose
There are some people whose opinion I value and respect and it would be very bothersome if I forfeited their respect. But the general public? I'm not preoccupied with the opinions of others.
