William Greider
The quest for homeland security is heading ... toward the quasi-militarization of everyday life ... If danger might lurk anywhere, maybe everything must be protected and policed.
William Greider

William Greider
Americans cannot teach democracy to the world until they restore their own.
William Greider
The economy is not governed with the bottom half in mind.
William Greider
People know elections, like television commercials, are not real.
William Greider
Fellow senators balked at punishing Senator Alfonse D'Amato of New York though he was caught in a series of transactions that earned him the label Senator Sleaze. D'Amato explained their reluctance as he defended his own behavior. There but for the grace of God go most of my colleagues, he said.
