Why cant a Democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and — Moby

"I got a phone call from Ricky Martins management asking me if Id like to do something with him in Florida around the winter music conference. My answer is as follows: I would consider doing something with Ricky Martin if and only if he publicly apologizes for performing at George Ws inauguration and if he confirms that when he danced next to George W. Bush at the inauguration he could smell brimstone and that George W. Bush is in fact the spawn of Satan. So if Ricky Martin goes on national television to confirm that George W. is the spawn of Satan then I will perform with him. Otherwise no deal. And only if we can do a cover of In a Gadda-da-vida, but The Simpsons version, In the garden of Eden (to which reverend Lovejoy responds ""that sounds like rock and or roll""). And, by the way, Im a pretty easygoing young-ish person, so if you ever see me walking down the street just stop me and say hello. Were all in the same boat, right? of course youll have to make it past my phalanx of security guards who are all ex-NFL linebackers, and the cadre of dobermans, and the perma-moat that I wear thats filled with electric eels and vicious sea monkeys. So if you see me just come and say hi. Im normal."

"Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book."

"Better a loving single parent family than a conventional family wherein the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue."

"Could you look at animal in the eyes and say to it "my appetite is more important than your suffering"? I hope not."

"a long time ago only kings had rights. then rights were extended to property-owning white men. then all men. then wymyn [sic]. then children. then the mentally retarded. now were agonizing over the extension of basic rights to homosexuals and animals. we need to finally accept that all sentient creatures are deserving of basic rights."

"Im actually kind of impressed by Iraqs patience right now... I mean, look at it objectively. Theyve opened their doors to un inspectors, theyre being bombed by british and american troops, american forces are massing at their borders, american diplomats are actively looking to assinate [sic] Saddam Hussein, etc. It almost seems like Bush is doing everything he can to taunt Saddam Hussein. Not just if you step over this line I will hit you, but if you step over this line while I put rats on your back and put butter on the floor and make fun of your mom and move the line then I will hit you, in fact Ill hit you even if you just stand there and do nothing. Its painfully clear that iraq should not be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction. But it also seems painfully clear that the bush administration have no intention of finding a peaceful resolution to the situation in Iraq."
