• Yesterday the Supreme Court lifted the ban on same-sex marriage in Kansas. They didn't give a reason for the ruling, but then again when a state is famous for a Judy Garland musical about a rainbow and a wizard who comes out of a closet, do you really need an excuse?

• David Rockefeller is the most conspicuous representative today of the ruling class, a multinational fraternity of men who shape the global economy and manage the flow of its capital. Rockefeller was born to it, and he has made the most of it. But what some critics see as a vast international conspiracy, he considers a circumstance of life and just another day's work... In the world of David Rockefeller it's hard to tell where business ends and politics begins

• Sin embargo, el totalitarismo no promete tanto una era de fe como una era de esquizofrenia. Una sociedad se vuelve totalitaria cuando su estructura se vuelve flagrantemente artificial: es decir, cuando su clase dirigente ha perdido su función pero consigue aferrarse al poder por la fuerza o el fraude. Una sociedad así, por mucho tiempo que persista, nunca podrá permitirse llegar a ser tolerante ni intelectualmente estable.

• It's a matter of balance of power. If the Supreme Court could just make a ruling and everybody has to bow down and fall on their faces and worship that law, it isn't a law because it hasn't been yet passed.

• It is that the Mail constantly dares to stand up to the liberal-left consensus that dominates so many areas of British life and instead represents the views of the ordinary people who are our readers and who don't have a voice in today's political landscape and are too often ignored by today's ruling elite.

• The notion that the Supreme Court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. The Supreme Court is not the supreme branch. And for God's sake, it isn't the Supreme Being. It is the Supreme Court.

• El feminismo, a diferencia de casi todos los demás movimientos sociales, no es una lucha contra un opresor concreto -no es la clase dominante ni los ocupantes ni los colonizadores-, sino contra un conjunto de creencias y suposiciones profundamente arraigadas que, con demasiada frecuencia, tenemos las propias mujeres.

• More attention should have been given to the fundamental transformation which took place during Queen Victoria's reign, from ruling sovereign to constitutional monarch. Again, gender mattered. If Albert had lived, it seems clear that he would have resisted that development much more tenaciously, which the gradual emasculation (and feminization) of monarchy was probably more easily accomplished when a woman was on the throne.

• With this new stupid Supreme Court ruling, secret money can come in on an unlimited level from corporations. Nobody knows where it comes from. That distorts the political situation in our country tremendously. Most of that money is spent on negative advertising that is tearing down the character and reputation of your opponent, and it works, although most American people say, "We don't like negative advertising," it works.

• Privatisation is presented as being the only alternative to an inefficient, corrupt state. In fact, it is not a choice at all... it is a mutually profitable business contract between the private company (preferably foreign) and the ruling elite of the Third World

• These developments - a massive transfer of land by way of inheritance and purchase, an unprecedented rise in the profitability of land and increasing intermarriage between Celtic and English dynasties - helped to consolidate a new unitary ruling class in place of the more separate and specific landed establishments that had characterised England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland in the Tudor and Stuart eras.

• I always take an aspect between the ruling planets (i.e., the rulers of their Ascendants) as a testimony to the fact that the two people are likely to have a relationship of extraordinary intensity and importance… The close interaction of the ruling planets’ energies can be seen as indicative of a particularly specific symbol of how the two people interact with each other… in the vast majority of such cases, all of the other levels of interaction shown in a comparison will be secondary to the intense type of interchange symbolized by the aspect between the rulers.

• Tenga en cuenta que los medios de comunicación no son independientes, sino una especie de tablón de anuncios y empresa de relaciones públicas de la clase dominante, la gente que dirige todo. Los que deciden qué noticias oirás o no son pagados y tolerados puramente a capricho de los que detentan el poder económico. Si la empresa matriz no quiere que sepas algo, no saldrá en las noticias. Y punto. O, como mínimo, se sesgará a su conveniencia, y luego rara vez se le dará seguimiento.

• The society of merchants can be defined as a society in which things disappear in favor of signs. When a ruling class measures its fortunes, not by the acre of land or the ingot of gold, but by the number of figures corresponding ideally to a certain number of exchange operations, it thereby condemns itself to setting a certain kind of humbug at the center of its experience and its universe. A society founded on signs is, in its essence, an artificial society in which man's carnal truth is handled as something artificial.

• If the court strikes down the Defense of Marriage Act, is that a 'liberal' result enabling gay couples married in states where gay marriage is legal to enjoy the same economic advantages that federal laws now grant to straight couples? Or is it a 'conservative' ruling, limiting the federal government's ability to override state power?

• De hecho, todos los déspotas de la historia, combinados, nunca consiguieron hacer las cosas tan bien como esta civilización alborotada y autocrítica de ciudadanos libres y soberanos, que por fin se han liberado de adorar a una clase dirigente y han empezado a pensar por sí mismos. La democracia puede parecer a veces frustrante y desordenada, pero funciona.
