I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

And this President wakes up every morning looks out across America and is proud to announce 'It could be worse.' It could be worse? Is that what it means to be an American? It could be worse? Of course not. What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that we know it must be better.

If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.

Our American friends offer us money arms and advice. We take the money we take the arms and we decline the advice.

As Americans we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasn't first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.

I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the American Cinema because it has no ideas.

In the seventies a group of American artists seized the means not of production but of reproduction. They tore apart visual culture at a time of no money no market and no one paying attention except other artists. Vietnam and Watergate had happened everything in America was being questioned.

American men as a group seem to be interested in only two things money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

The more money an American accumulates the less interesting he becomes.
