Children at certain ages have distinct actions, and boys at certain ages have a particular way of acting too.
Raising kids is part joy and part guerrilla warfare.
A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black by being opposed to Obama.
There are genuinely sufficient resources in the world to ensure that no one, nowhere, at no time, should go hungry.
We all moan and groan about the loss of the quality of life through the destruction of our ecology, and yet every one of us, in our own little comfortable ways, contributes daily to that destruction. It's time now to awaken in each one of us the respect and attention our beloved Mother deserves.
All capitalists should be like Warren Buffett, and he says he should be taxed more.
The free access to information is not a privilege, but a necessity for any free society. One of my favorite things to do as a young man was wander through the stacks of my hometown library. I'd just browse until I found something interesting. Libraries have definitely changed my life.

I developed a deep, abiding fear of jeans, which I still have.

My main goal is to stay alive. To keep fooling myself into hanging around. To keep getting up every day. Right now I live without inspiration. I go day to day and do the work because it's all I know. I know that if I keep moving I stand a chance. I must keep myself going until I find a reason to live. I need one so bad. On the other hand maybe I don't. Maybe it's all bullshit. Nothing I knew from my old life can help me here. Most of the things that I believed turned out to be useless. Appendages from someone else's life.
