• En Colma, un suburbio de San Francisco, California, hay una propuesta pendiente para gravar... a los muertos. Si los proponentes se salen con la suya, las tumbas tendrán que pagar un impuesto de 5 dólares por tumba y año durante toda la eternidad. En Colma, los muertos superan en número a los vivos en una proporción de aproximadamente 1000 a 1, incluyendo a personajes notables como: Wyatt Earp, Levi Strauss, y William Randolph Hearst. Y ellos, aparentemente, no han pagado su parte justa. Para los liberales, cuando se trata de impuestos... nada es sagrado.

• Freudian psychoanalytical theory is a mythology that answers pretty well to Levi-Strauss's descriptions. It brings some kind of order into incoherence; it, too, hangs together, makes sense, leaves no loose ends, and is never (but never) at a loss for explanation. In a state of bewilderment it may therefore bring comfort and relief.... give its subject a new and deeper understanding of his own condition and of the nature of his relationship to his fellow men. A mythical structure will be built up around him which makes sense and is believable-in, regardless of whether or not it is true.
