## Quotes

* According to Baugh, Black is the term preferred by most Black Americans. As a proper noun, like Negro (Spanish for 'black') or African American, it should be capitalized. The claim that black is a color word requiring lowercase makes meaning the major criterion for determining upper versus lower case. However, capitalization is determined by whether a term is a proper noun or not. Surely Black is synonymous with Negro, just as White is synonymous with Caucasian. Either they are all proper nouns or none of them is. Like White, Black is not a color term. If it were, such locutions as light-skinned Black person and dark-skinned White person would make no sense. Furthermore, when black is a color term and part of a proper name, as in Black Angus, it is nonetheless capitalized. And one would not think of using the color-word argument to downcase Mr. Black or Ms. White. The failure to capitalize Black when it is synonymous with African American is a matter of unintended racism, to put the best possible face on it. A similar case arises with the racial term Native American.
** The Capitalization of Black and Native American, American Speech, vol. 75, no. 4 (Winter 2000), pp. 364–65. Quoted in African American Philosophers and Philosophy: An Introduction to the History, Concepts and Contemporary Issues (2019) by Stephen Ferguson II and John McClendon III, p. 6, Bloomsbury Publishing.

# Scientific literacy

Scientific literacy or Science literacy encompasses written, numerical, and digital literacy as they pertain to understanding science, its methodology, observations, and theories.

## Quotes

* Increasingly, our leaders must deal with dangers that threaten the entire world, where an understanding of those dangers and the possible solutions depends on a good grasp of science. The ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, questions of diet and heredity. All require scientific literacy. Can Americans choose the proper leaders and support the proper programs if they themselves are scientifically illiterate? The whole premise of democracy is that it is safe to leave important questions to the court of public opinion—but is it safe to leave them to the court of public ignorance?
** Isaac Asimov, "Scientific Literacy", Los Angeles Times, (31 Mar 1989)
* Let me suggest to you a simple test one can apply to scientific activities to determine whether or not they can constitute the practice of physics. Is what you are doing beautiful? Many beautiful things are created without the use of physical knowledge, but I know of no really worthwhile physics that isn’t beautiful. Indeed, one of the most distressing symptoms of scientific illiteracy is the impression so often given to school children that science is a mechanistic activity subject to algorithmic description.
** Lewis M. Branscomb, “Physics and the APS in 1979”, Physics Today (Apr 1980), 33, No. 4, p. 50
* Rampant scientific illiteracy in the general public is, in my opinion, one major cause of the current lack of opportunities for scientists. … A public that is ignorant of science, and of how science is done, is not going to support scientific research enthusiastically.
** Alan Hale, "Shattered Hopes and Dreams: The Dim Prospect for Careers in Science", Chronicle of Higher Education (5 Dec 1997). As cited in Daniel S. Greenberg, Science, Money, and Politics: Political Triumph and Ethical Erosion (2003), chapter 13 epigraph, p. 205
* A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is about the scientific equivalent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare's?
** C. P. Snow, "The Two Cultures: The Rede Lecture" (1959), pp. 14-5
* Knowing how things work is important, but I think that's an incomplete view of what science literacy is or, at least, should be. Science literacy is an outlook. It's more of a lens through which you observe what goes on around you.
** Neil deGrasse Tyson in Global Ideas from Pluto's Challenger, Marina Leight, May 21, 2009

### A - K

* In petticoat of green, Her hair about her eyne, Phyllis beneath an oak Sat milking her fair flock: ’Mongst that sweet-strainèd moisture, rare delight, Her hand seemed milk, in milk it was so white.
** William Drummond, "Phyllis" in Poems (1616)
* The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.
** Michael Klaper, speech of July 19, 1985. Quoted in David Robinson Simon, Meatonomics (San Francisco: Conari Press, 2013), p. 193

### O - R

* You cows that I see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop of it has gone down the throats of our enemies.
** George Orwell, Animal Farm (1945), Chapter 1
* Cow milk has no valid claim as the perfect food. As nutrition, it produces allergies in infants, diarrhea and cramps in the older child and adult, and may be a factor in the development of heart attacks and strokes. Perhaps when the public is educated as to the hazards of milk only calves will be left to drink the real thing. Only calves should drink the real thing.
** Frank Oski, Don't Drink Your Milk! (Brushton, NY: TEACH Services, 1996), p. 84

### S - Z

* Civilized men know the art of preparing nutritious foods from milk. For instance, in our temples and monasteries we make hundreds of first-class preparations from milk. Whenever visitors come, they are astonished that from milk such nice foods can be prepared. The blood of the cow is very nutritious, but civilized men utilize it in the form of milk. Milk is nothing but cow's blood transformed. You can make milk into so many things – yogurt, curd, ghee (clarified butter), and so on – and by combining these milk products with grains, fruits, and vegetables, you can make hundreds of preparations. This is civilized life – not directly killing an animal and eating its flesh.
** A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Science of Self-Realization (1977), as quoted in The Higher Taste, The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust

# Military occupation

Military occupation is distinguished from annexation by its intended temporary nature, by its military nature, and by citizenship rights of the controlling power not being conferred upon the subjugated population.

## Quotes

* For the stone will cry out from the wall, ... "Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity!"
** Habakkuk 2:11-12 ESV
* Americans reflexively believe that 'Had Germany occupied the United States, nearly all of us would have joined an armed resistance to the Nazis. That's what I thought, too, when I was 16. But that reflects a hopelessly naive view, both of what the world looked like to most people after the Nazis had conquered Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway and France, and of what it actually meant to take up arms against an occupying power'.

# Steve Gerber

Stephen Ross "Steve" Gerber (born September 20, 1947, St. Louis - died February 10, 2008, Las Vegas) was an American comic book writer best known as co-creator of the satiric Marvel Comics character Howard the Duck.

## Quotes

* We had some problems with the Howard newspaper strip, which led to problems with the Howard book, which ultimately led to the lawsuit. Marvel wouldn't pay the artist to draw it. Gene Colan and I were supposed to get a percentage of the syndicate's take for the strip. The problem was, the money came in 90 days, 120 days, six months — I don't remember how long exactly — after the strips were published. So, essentially, the artist was working for nothing up until that time, and no artist can afford to do that. [In comparison with Stan Lee and John Romita|'s Spider-Man comic strip,] Stan, as publisher of Marvel, had a regular salary coming in, and John Romita, I believe, was also on staff at the time. They didn't have quite the same problem.

## Quotes

* He is the embodiment of Fleet Street bullying, using his newspaper to peddle his Little-England, curtain-twitching Alan Partridgesque view of the world, which manages to combine sanctimonious, pompous moralising and prurient, voyeuristic, judgmental obsession, like a Victorian father masturbating secretly in his bedroom.

* The frustration was with the philosophy of the instrument.
* When it broke down, I would break down. I had to wean myself from it just to survive. I had to have interventions. People would say, ‘You’ve got to do something else.’ So that was part of it—being too dependent on this thing I couldn’t count on.
* It had to go all the way out to the west coast and come all the way back to the east coast every time it needed to be fixed.
* And if it made it one trip, it wouldn’t make the other. Then somebody stole half of it. I found out about that 20 years later, when someone sent me a photograph and said, ‘Does this look familiar to you?’ I nearly fainted.
* Now my ears are awakening again, just because I’m part of the zeitgeist of contemporary whatever. Even though I’m in this remote place, I get it.

I said, “To bring down Suwā.” He said. “What do you intend with it?” I said. “The Messenger of God commanded me.” He said, “You will not be able to bring it down.” I said. “Why?” He replied, “It will prevent you.” Amr said, “Until now you are in the wrong! Woe unto you. Can it hear or see?” Amr said: I drew close to it and broke it. I commanded my companions and they pulled down the house of its treasury.

* At that time the army had just been integrated in the States. And it was one of the few industries that offered black people the possibility of advancement if you did a good job.

* Black people have had to become great at seeing ourselves where we are not present because that’s where we grew up. I see myself in Downton Abbey.

## Quotes

* My spoon was lifted when the bomb came down/That left no face, no hand, no spoon to hold./A hundred thousand died in my home town./This came to pass before my soup was cold. ("Epitaph: 1945")
* Hungry, not one word here/is as good as bread.
* they swarmed everywhere,/the unwritten poems.
* They went hunting lions/But a flea attacked them/And their hunters' passion/Narrowed to a flea.
* No god came down, my brothers,/To breathe on them, my sisters./Their bodies made a mountain/That never touched the heavens./Whose lightning struck the killers?/Whose rain drowned out the fires?/My brothers and my sisters,/No angel leaned upon them./No miracle could shield them/From the cold human hands.
* I learned the speech of birds; now every tree/Screams out to me a baleful prophecy.
* All, all runs wild, all wild and uncontrolled./A toad hops from my mouth instead of gold.
* Excuse me for living,/But, since I am living,/Given inches, I take yards,/Taking yards, dream of miles/And a landscape, unbounded/And vast in abandon./And you dreaming the same.
* I was, I did, but I will let it be./Tonight I must hold dear/Whatever brought me here.
* I must learn again to give it welcome.
* The hunters hang onto their man/And merrily pass by/Where I scot-free and you scot-free/Stand in the shadow of Why.
* Born of a war, I was always aching and straining/To nuzzle myself into peace./Peace when it came was hunted and haunted, and stayed/Just for a moment.
* In silence is the smell of treachery, and sanction/Of hunger, and therefore I shout./But in the storm of sound I clothe myself/In a hush like fur.
* Unmade by what has made me
* When there was one kiss/against ten curses/and one loaf/against ten hungry/and one hello/against ten goodbyes/the odds stalked/your crooked steps.
* His praise like rain runs down the gutters
* My words may turn into stones/as easily as a man/turned one day into silence.
* Neither destroyed nor diamond/I walk from the core of your flame,/The rain does not hiss when it hits me,/And I answer to my old name.
* Tomorrow we cross/The borders of loss
