If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff.
Mariah Carey

On September 10, half the world was already living, if one can call it that, on less than $2 a day, with a fifth surviving on half of that.

Inequality is exploding both within and among nations, and perhaps contrary to the poor of the nineteenth century, today's poor know they are poor. The plausible fantasies of Western television constantly remind them of their own failure to capture the material rewards of modernity.
Susan George

Heaven would be a place where bullshit existed only on television. (Hallelujah! We's halfway there!)
