Posters had their say on the Middle East: Memorable phrases included Max Steel's "Peace will come … when the Palestinians learn to love their children more than they hate the Jews" and The Bell's "War becomes truly tragic when the soldiers of an army are brave and true but its generals are fools."

The group that sends a message, "You can trust no one in our population not to kill you," sends the message, "Unless you get rid of all of us, you will die." This is very dangerous; it's an invitation to genocide. … The people of Palestine seem to be counting on Israel's personal morality (or at least Israel's need to appear moral before the world) not to commit genocide. ... What if they are wrong? What if Israel says, "Damn world opinion. It's us or them, so it's going to be us"?

If there was one thing that could bring the Catholic Church in America crashing down forever, this latest scandal was it. There is absolutely no one Americans hate more than a child molester, and absolutely no one baby boomers value more than their own kids. … Think there aren't a whole lot of male breadwinners who at least thought twice before placing checks and money in the plate at St. Whatever's this past month? ... The Roman Catholic Church looks upon the United States as a cash cow. … We are important to them—the same way a rich guy is important to a stripper.

All the [British] royals are good for now is to look nice? Oh, that hurts! Come on! They're frightfully useful, you know they are! … Don't we wish we had such a system here? ... We shed hot tears of envy and rage every time we see those lucky people across the pond being graciously waved to and smiled upon. But there's some hope for us. It looks as if we're well on the way to establishing such a system here. It's a tiny bit puzzling why we have chosen such a remarkably mediocre dynasty for the job, but perhaps it's just our good old democratic way of saying Hey! This is America! In this country everybody is as good as everybody else.
