Ice T Quotes
I wouldn't write about sh*t I don't know. You won't hear me write about politics in Africa and stuff, because I don't know enough about it. And I would never rap about something I can't back up.
Ice-T, and Heidi Siegmund. The Ice Opinion: Who Gives a Fuck? St. Martin's Press, 1994.
While there are dramatic exceptions such as during the Nixon and George W. Bush administrations, compared to most other nations were the indicator of official lying is a leader’s lips moving, the United States is among the leading nations with respect to official deception of the citizens.
President Eisenhower, who had a very high degree of trust—domestically and internationally—was persuaded to lie to the country and the world about U-2 Spy Plane Program. As soon as the nation and the world, had accepted Eisenhowers word for the program, the Russians not only displayed a U-2 that they had shot down over Soviet territory, but trotted out the pilot who they had captured. Generally, American Presidents since have avoided lies until LBJ lied about the Gulf of Tonkin, Ronald Reagan lied about Irangate, Bill Clinton lied about his sex life, and George W. Bush lied about the reason for invading Iran. All these lies have turned out badly for the President and the nation.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910
