• Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why but the editorialists forget it terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.

• I'm sure there are people in Hollywood, whose main drive in film is to make money, who will feel that any use of the word hijacking or any reference to anything violent or remotely associated with the terrible tragedy that occurred will lose customers for them. And that will be the only criterion that will matter and so they'll force the minions that work for them to remove these things from their movies, or not make movies about that subject.

• An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity. There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version.

• People don't hijack planes anymore because that old system of hijacking in order to barter for a prison release or get to a different country no longer works, exactly, because 9/11 recoded the hostage's interpretation of a hijack. If a hijacker isn't trying to use the plane as a missile, then he is in danger of being killed by the hostages. There is no minor terror threat anymore. No mid-level terrorism.

• Zionism is only around 100 years old. It is the transformation from religion to nationalism, to materialism created by non-religious Jews who hated their religion. The reason why they use the name Israel, the Star of David, hijacking, stealing the identity of Judaism and the Jewish people is in order to gain a legitimacy for their existence that should lead people to say, 'oh, it is God given to them' and that they should use fear and intimidate people from speaking out against their actions because they will call those that do anti Semitic; it couldn't be anything further from the Truth.

• [El proyecto de ley de sanidad es una] carrera precipitada hacia el socialismo..... No toleraremos que Obama, Pelosi y Reid secuestren nuestra libertad y democracia para imponer su "utopía" socialista de impuestos más altos, acceso restringido, calidad inferior e ineficiencia mortal en el mejor sistema sanitario del mundo....Usted y el RNC son lo único que se interpone entre el plan de los demócratas de tomar más de sus ingresos ganados con esfuerzo para pagar este derecho insostenible y destructor de la libertad y la oportunidad de trabajar por soluciones reales, verdaderamente bipartidistas, paso a paso.

• La mayor tragedia de toda la historia de la humanidad puede ser el secuestro de la moral por la religión. Por muy valiosa -incluso necesaria- que haya sido para imponer un buen comportamiento a los pueblos primitivos, su asociación es ahora contraproducente. Sin embargo, justo en el momento en que deberían disociarse, unos santurrones necios reclaman la vuelta a una moral basada en la superstición.

• No podríamos construir ordenadores cuánticos a menos que el universo fuera cuántico e informático. Podemos construir esas máquinas porque el universo almacena y procesa información en el ámbito cuántico. Cuando construimos ordenadores cuánticos, estamos secuestrando esa computación subyacente para hacer que haga las cosas que queremos: pequeños y/o/no cálculos. Estamos pirateando el universo.
