You have to understand. Most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. – Andy and Larry Wachowski, The Matrix, 1999	added by DrRamon 1 year ago
[A] public policy of simply discouraging people from owning or using firearms is not, in and of itself, a constitutionally permissible objective, any more than discouraging people from religious observance would be permissible to some oh-so-progressive government that considered religion as hopelessly declassé as progressives nowadays consider the right to keep and bear arms .... And any statute or regulation that burdens the right to keep and bear arms on the ground that guns are a public health hazard should enjoy the same frosty reception in court that would be given a statute or regulation that burdened the free exercise of religion as a mental hazard. – Daniel D. Polsby	added by Normando 1 year ago
Joe Biden has horrendously and hopelessly politicized the DOJ by using them as an arm of the Democratic Party, filing frivolous litigation solely for political – not legal – reasons. This is a clear violation of legal ethics and it warrants a full investigation into who directed these deeply offensive and utterly meritless lawsuits against the states which clearly have no legal basis whatsoever. – Stephen Miller	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
If you think about it for long enough, any story about the presidency is a story about the meaning of life and, in that sense, a story about death. If you stare at it hard enough, ambition can look like running hopelessly away from mortality. – Olivia Nuzzi	added by anonymous 2 years ago
Every public official has a responsibility to tell the truth, all the clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won't change the fact that this January 6th effort is designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party. We ought to be better than that. If we normalize this, we're going to turn American politics into a Hatfields and McCoys endless blood feud -- a house hopelessly divided. – Ben Sasse	Found on CNN 3 years ago
I wanted to do something different and have California lead by example, while our nation's capital is hopelessly divided along party lines and President Trump is putting immigrant families and children in cages, the California Legislature with HR 77 will be issuing an official, bipartisan measure for its own actions taken that led to the incarceration of over 120,000 loyal Americans of Japanese ancestry behind barbed wire. – Democratic State Assemblyman Albert Muratsuchi	Found on CNN 4 years ago
This impeachment process continues to be hopelessly partisan. I have been hearing from my constituents on both sides of this matter for months, and the escalation of calls this past week just shows me how divided our country really is right now, i have some serious concerns with the way the closed-door depositions were run, and am skeptical that we will have a process that is open, transparent and fair. Without support from Senate Republicans, going down this path is a mistake. Today's vote is both unnecessary, and widely misrepresented in the media and by Republicans as a vote on impeachment. – Collin Peterson	Found on CNN 4 years ago
Since the estate has substantial creditors running into hundreds of millions of pounds, it is hopelessly insolvent. – Judge Richard Arnold	Found on Reuters 7 years ago

According to them everything was really good in 2008, when we were going through the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes, unemployment and uninsured rates were up, we were hopelessly addicted to foreign oil and (Osama) bin Laden was still on the loose. This apparently was the golden age that I messed up. – President Barack Obama	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Our politicians are hopelessly unable to hear and understand Pope Francis; they can only instrumentalize faith and God in the manner they have done so since the beginning. – Ivo Markovic	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
We just lay there hopelessly, because we know automatically we're going to be killed. – Hellen Titus	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Anyone who is breathing, shoot them, we just lay there hopelessly, because we know automatically we're going to be killed. – Hellen Titus	Found on CNN 9 years ago
A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of government as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by government. Somewhere in between and In gradations is the group that has the sense that gov't exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly. – Lionel Trilling	added by anonymous 10 years ago
“The literal record was not a hopelessly and imperfect fraction of truly insensible gradation within large populations but an accurate reflection of the actual process identified by evolutionists as the chief motor of biological change. The theory of punctuated equilibrium was, in its initial formulation, little more than this insight adumbrated.” – Stephen Jay Gould	added by anonymous 10 years ago
Every writer is a narcissist. This does not mean that he is vain; it only means that he is hopelessly self-absorbed. – Leo Rosten	added by anonymous 10 years ago
But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating so I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was a drizzle and she was a hurricane. – John Green	added by anonymous 10 years ago
No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from. – George Eliot	added by anonymous 10 years ago
