Fast Quotes
Passive violence can be as simple as someone honking their horn at you for not turning fast enough when the light changes. And it can be highly complex, like when your co-worker undermines all of your work relationships by spreading rumors and lies about you. That's how passive violence rolls.

Bush Quotes
The whole macho thing has to be reexamined. Because in my view, the Bush administration was weak, not strong. To engage in a policy of torture is a weak policy. Because ultimately, it encourages the terrorists. It undermines our own values. It corrupts our system. And it doesn't get good intelligence.

Cannot Quotes
Being a unique superpower undermines the military intelligence of strategy. To think strategically, one has to imagine oneself in the enemy's place. If one cannot do this, it is impossible to foresee, to take by surprise, to outflank. Misinterpreting an enemy can lead to defeat. This is how empires fall.

August Quotes
We believe that Ford's recall of over 46,000 Explorer SUVs overseas since August 1999 undermines Ford's efforts to place responsibility on Bridgestone/Firestone in connection with the U.S. tire recall. As a result, Ford's credibility with U.S. consumers, legislators and regulators may suffer. We are thereby threatening the January 2001 launch of the new model.

Advice Quotes
I don't think he undermines his effectiveness but I think he puts him under a lot of pressure when it comes to decision making and maybe he doubts his own decisions sometimes because Shane is offering so much advice all the time. It's hard to sift through what is good and what is not good, at times.
-
Citizen Quotes
His pattern of conflicts of interest undermines citizen confidence and investor confidence in the operations of the SEC. Left unchecked this has the potential to undermine market confidence. Americans and investors deserve an SEC that will vigorously protect their interests and protect the openness and efficiency of our markets.

Affront Quotes
I think it's an insult and an affront to every legal immigrant who's obeyed all the laws and done everything the country's asked of them, ... I don't think it's fair that millions of people should be able to cut in line in front of them. It directly undermines our immigration laws." ()

Attention Quotes
It is so central to these anti-discrimination laws to make sure those that complain about discrimination are protected. If we can't protect the people -- like Roderick Jackson -- who complain, it is not only an injustice to them, it undermines the very substance of these discrimination laws to make sure those who see that something wrong are protected when they bring it to attention with authority to fix it.

Ability Quotes
Stealing another person's property is theft, it's against the law and breaking the law must carry consequences or no one will think twice. Theft undermines the ability of the music companies to invest in the new bands of tomorrow and deprives labels, songwriters and musicians of their hard-earned royalties.
-
Billions Quotes
SCE has borrowed billions of dollars, which threatens the company's solvency, through eight and a half months of inaction and delay by the CPUC, in order to continue to serve its customers, ... There was no reason for the CPUC to take this action, except for reasons of publicity. This decision undermines confidence in the fairness of the decision-making process at the CPUC.

Assume Quotes
It's their Hail Mary pass. I assume they figure, 'Why not take a shot? We're not going to win anyway,' even though it's got a serious potential for backlash. To the extent that voters think the race has been too negative already, this only undermines his standing with people when they go to the polls.

Appears Quotes
Infinity is a player of great significance who appears on the stage only when the crucial questions of existence are raised. Infinity offers its services when we seek to know if the Universe began or whether it will ever end, whether life will always be part of its landscape, and whether there are tasks which can never be accomplished. Infinity challenges us to contemplate the duplication of ourselves and all that we hold dear, and to ponder the cogency of all possibilities, potential and actual. It undermines our sense of the precious by suggesting a randomly infinite universe will eventually conjure up the works of Shakespeare, somewhere, as if created by a regiment of monkeys armed with typewriters. Infinity also seeks to guard us from taking the wrong path in our quest to unravel the deepest of Nature's secrets about the ultimate structure of mass and energy.

Contribute Quotes
The idea of people who are educated by the state having an obligation to contribute to society is perfectly sensible. But this is an extreme measure that undermines the right of people to leave any country including their own. It is one of the most effective tools Cuban authorities have for intimidating people critical of the government.

Average Quotes
The disastrous Bush prescription drug benefit for seniors is a prime example of how special interest money creates bad policy that undermines security for average Americans. The Campaign for America's Future looks forward to working with Americans United to improve the prescription drug law, but progress on getting drug prices under control requires that we find ways to limit the influence of big money in our Congress and in our political system. We will work for economic change - while cleaning up corruption in our democratic system that weakens the voice of average Americans.
