A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air. (Coyote Peter)
No political party has exclusive patent rights on prosperity. (Coyote Peter)
The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day. (Coyote Peter)
