I felt great! I'm ready to roll tonight!
I think race has been a burden for black Americans. Being Muslim has also been a challenge because so many people do not understand Islam.

I don't really care who's doing drugs in the NBA as long as the scene isn't adversely affecting my team and teammates. I've known enough drug users-going as far back as grade school and the streets of New York-not to view them as pariahs or lost souls. I've certainly smoked more than my quota of weed.
Certitude leads to violence. This is a proposition that has an easy application and a difficult one. The easy application is to ideoologues, dogmatists, and bullies--people who think that their rigtness justifies them in imposing on anyone who does not happen to suscribe to their particular ideology, dogma or notion of turf.

There are people like this in every sphere of life, and it is natural to feel that the world would be a better place without them!
