And in a democracy, when we say we're mad at what's going on, what we need to be saying is we're mad at ourselves.

I was way into Primus in high school so hanging out with him was a thrill.

We ought to be doing that with decent standard housing but if we have people who are absolutely on the streets in this case, I think it makes sense that tent cities are preferred to not having tent cities.

Believing that our greatest need is for the general public to be able to get better information, to have an opportunity to learn better the real issues of the less fortunate, we centered the activities of the Fairness Project on that.

It's definitely an influence, I mean how can you not say you are influenced to play rock.

What's wrong is that we are not participating to make this the type of government it needs to be.

The end game is you change that law to making that law better, whichever law you're talking about.

It was awesome because we were doing Ramones songs.

We have an electronic vein we have tapped and applied it to a rock setting like tons of bands out there.

We became good friends with Galactic as well.

And in a democracy, when we say we're mad at what's going on, what we need to be saying is we're mad at ourselves.

I think a lot of it is that we used to tour so much that we never really had time to write songs.

If somebody comes to a neighborhood coffee hour, or goes to a discussion group, and they have a discussion, I do think that people really walk away with a real understanding of the issues.

The Fairness Project is endeavoring to try to do what we can to make a fairer society.

There are so many songs that we just don't play anymore.

Enterprise Washington is economic development in areas of high unemployment around the state of Washington.

A great thing about these trees is that they are excellent for cleaning, both groundwater, and of course, air.

Well, we played with Soul Coughing once for like two days, that was pretty cool. I mean they were all good, you can pull a great experience from everything.

I just feel like there hasn't been enough time away from all this other stuff and into this new world or sort of big world that it hasn't worn off yet.

We need to have the social investments by which to quote unquote distribute some of that wealth.

You can say that Wayne Coyne sounds like Neil Young.

I think the market driven economic system is the most productive system, but to have that work in the world, you've got to also have social investments to go along with that.

Well lately I have listening to a lot of movie soundtracks.

We have always wanted to write songs and be experimental in that way.

We wanted to sit down and conceptually work out songs.

We listened to a lot of Rolling Stones and Beatles records when we were recording. They were really good at not playing loud, but generating really big sounds out of everything.

I don't want to feel like people are imposing limits upon you.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity.

In democracy everyone has the right to be represented, even the jerks.

But democracy isn't a state of perfection. It has to be improved, and that means constant vigilance.

Democracy is stronger than terrorism, and we will not cower to the terrorists' campaign of fear.

Our brave soldiers and support personnel are engaged in a battle as important as any the United States has ever before waged, for the success of democracy in Iraq is a crucial test of the ideals this Nation was founded upon.

American and Israel share a special bond. Our relationship is unique among all nations. Like America, Israel is a strong democracy, a symbol of freedom, and an oasis of liberty, a home to the oppressed and persecuted.

Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses.

Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most conspicuous and sacred responsibility, all talks of the sovereignty of Parliament and of democracy is idle and futile.

And when we draw lines in the sand with regard to certain basic things that are vital to our interest and to the interest of democracy and our friends around the world, we have to be willing to back that up.

While Kuwait is not a democracy, giving only half the population a voice in their government is not a policy this Congress should support and one that I am glad that Kuwait's leaders are changing.

It's true that the war in Iraq opened a distance in relations between part of Europe and the U.S. government, but our basic ties are stronger than that. We share democracy, free markets and a commitment to Western security. We differ on how to guarantee that security.

One has the right to be wrong in a democracy.

In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.

There is something inherent in our democracy that tends to want to level. America is a little uncomfortable in the presence of someone who is distinctly superior in whatever way.

Propaganda is to a democracy what the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state.

The Election Assistance Commission represents a major, unprecedented commitment from the federal government to sustained freedom and vibrant democracy. I am humbled by the prospect of being one its charter members.

It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.

Democracy is being allowed to vote for the candidate you dislike least.

Democracy is supposed to give you the feeling of choice, like Painkiller X and Painkiller Y. But they're both just aspirin.
