The point is not to stay marginal, but to participate in whatever network of marginal zones is spawned from other disciplinary centers and which, together, constitute a multiple displacement of those authorities.

Well, I think the reality is that as you study - when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues.

If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practiced, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.

Beahcomber Dog
Beachcomber dog is on my trail,
windy company, late December;
distracts my glance; a mute tale,
within his shiny eyes and amber.
A fervent dog, paces on shore,
sniffing my footsteps as I walk
December is gray, an icy hoar,
sea waves on monotonous talk.
I turn to see, the friendly dog,
a kind smile! Maybe a biscuit
if I could find! a dark icon in fog,
much he 'd like a tasty brisket!
The wind spells around the dog,
his bitter cold is apt to remind,
that we are firmed upon a clog,
on aimless course, a port to find.
A strange dog, on random stroll,
I left in fog years ago, his bark,
I hear; eyes appear like odd call
and old spirits salute me in dark.
I turn to approach the stray dog,
but he 's not there, flied in air,
marginal aptitude, figure in fog
marginal solitude a dusk despair.

You can talk about Holocaust denial, but it's really marginal for the most part. What is compelling about the Armenian genocide, is how it has been forgotten.

I don't think there's any independent cartoonist whose stuff I don't like or respect in at least some way or another. We're all marginal laborers - we're practically medical oddities - so I don't see why we can't all be nice to each other.

So you’re on a mission again
Where is that
I do not have to ask
Why is that
I do not have to ask
When is that
I do not have to ask
I am not interested
I am simply disinterested
I am not giving attention
To you and your excuses
Who is that?
It is all about you
Yes it is all about you
For whom is that?
You tell me it is for them
The poor and the underprivileged
The marginal and the oppressed
I will ask you again
For whom really is that?
And I will give
The correct answer
It is still for you
It is all about you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
You you you you
It is never about me
It was never about me
It was never about us
There is no me
And there will never be us.

I certainly can't speak for all cultures or all societies, but it's clear that in America, poetry serves a very marginal purpose. It's not part of the cultural mainstream.

I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.

A Being
a being sentenced to be a measure of the universe
is a marginal artist always at the edge
of a 'neath beyond abyss

Do You Rise To Or Do You Sink To
Do you rise to Creation's, God's, our spirits great powers and the great task before you, before us or do you sink to the false appraisals of those of marginal perception, of little to no depths, little to no spirit and wisdom, though they are most proficient at games of pretense, and deception.

Wanted man
Form in the drizzle drops, wet, earthy raceway,
monotonous of lights beams, wipers all night,
challenging me, a gray form, a marginal sway,
Race in this forest route, danger rules on sight.
Distant of cloudy forms, enlisted race odd,
a rainy cause, this relentlessness not to deny,
of odds I'm pursuing you, on this earthen road,
racer offspring, I see my life's odds to drive by.
My kind of gray, this asphalts' water border,
margin transforms, I control gearbox shifts,
a mercenary! - Limits of schedule times warder,
an undefined hunting of odds, my revs are swift.
Of even more away you go, a form undefined,
along my motors roaring, relentless, even rhythm,
special routes counting up, motive power's untied,
in heart I encroached of this, unsafe rules hymn.
Wanted man of northerly turbine's eerie music,
strung by myself, following my extended speed,
I wished you never visited this fatalistic choice,
This route will never feel, of anyone to forgive.
Wanted man of myself, of seconds, of opponents,
A struggle, of scope marginal, a clench on steer,
your speech of guidance, well defined words,
from datum, to the race end, no dismay or fear.

The Looker On
for Mr. Satterthwaite
the audience in drama of life
never lucky in love and adventure
but has knowledge about life and human characters
sometimes wants to be the actor
small role that easily be marginal from world stage
but the one who gives a sign to the leading actor
to start an important climax
that won't be able to begin if he's not there
then goes down from the stage
and satisfied enough to be a looker on again

No More Than Passing Spats
Choosing to hide their delusions,
Has to terrify those in denial.
Those with a wish to protect,
Their hopes from fears...
That current conflicts,
Are no more than passing spats...
Between schoolyard children,
During recess...as to them it appears.
And the authorities looking at this,
From their windows...
Will soon make it clear with warnings,
Of disciplinary actions taken...
If those responsible do not stop soon.
Or parents will be contacted,
With threats to dispell those with bad behavior...
From their classes.
