At some point people switch from saying โ€œI appreciate itโ€ when you do something nice, to โ€œI appreciate youโ€ which strikes me as condescending somehow. Maybe itโ€™s just me, but why did we change it??

Art Deco style is popular again, a century after its heyday A sophisticated style that once defined an era is inspiring a new generation of design lovers. Art Deco's heyday was a century ago, but it's got current influence in fashion, decor and more.

Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.

- Tommy Douglas

as quoted in Straight Through the Heart: How the Liberals Abandoned the Just Society (Harper and Collins: 1995), p. 243.
