"It's not a real choice. It's an apparent choice. Like choosing a brand of detergent. Whether you buy Ivory Snow or Tide, they're both owned by Proctor & Gamble.

Tide has oxy-boosting and Ivory Snow is a gentle cleanser."
(On the American election, 2004 from her speech in San Francisco, California on August 16th, 2004)
