• Americanomics works, and I won't argue that is true.
  But if the economy is getting better, getting better for who?
  Well, if you ask me, I'm doing much worse than before,
  With the welfare cuts, I don't eat no more.
  So if I did wanna go out, I couldn't go nowhere,
  Cause I ate every last one of them reindeer.
  Rudolph first, I went down the list,
  I got so hungry, I just couldn't resist.
  I ate Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Dixon,
  Fried them up and then started to mix them.
  And before you knew it, they were all gone,
  I wonder what y'all gonna do about my reindeer song!

  Wish America had universal health care...
  Cause ain't no help here.

• For Indigenous Australians, equal rights and citizenship have not always translated into full participation in Australian society. All Indigenous Australians have only been counted in the census since the 1967 Referendum. Even so, State protection and welfare laws continued to control the lives of Indigenous Australians and denied them equal rights, well into the 1970's.

• We tend to think of consecration only as yielding up, when divinely directed, our material possessions. But ultimate consecration is the yielding up of oneself to God. Heart, soul, and mind were the encompassing words of Christ in describing the first commandment, which is constantly, not periodically, operative (see Matt. 22:37). If kept, then our performances will, in turn, be fully consecrated for the lasting welfare of our souls (see 2 Ne. 32:9).

• How will the family unit be destroyed? ...[T]he demand alone will throw the whole ideology of the family into question, so that women can begin establishing a community of work with each other and we can fight collectively.
