Personal reflections on daily life, political and artistic issues by a middle-aged man who feels the need to step back from corporate life and think a little harder about the things that matter.
"Maturity begins to grow when you can sense your concern for others outweighing your concern for yourself." - John Macnaughton ***** "Ours is a culture based on excess, on overproduction; the result is a steady loss of sharpness in our sensory experience. All the conditions of modern life -- its material plentitude, its sheer crowdedness -- conjoin to dull our sensory faculties ... What is important now is to recover our senses. We must learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more." - Susan Sontag ***** "It's not that I'm so smart. It's just that I stay with problems longer." - Albert Einstein ***** "For every complex question there is a simple answer, and it is wrong." - H. L. Mencken
This one is simply unbelievable. George W. Bush ran for re-election last year largely on the false premise that he was the candidate who would keep us safe from the terrorists. And now we find out that illegal aliens have been working at our nuclear facilities??!?!?!?!?
