“It helps certain church leaders identify the fact that they have the spiritual gift of leadership that the Bible talks about in Romans 12:8.

“We could almost believe that we are destined by Providence to an unsettled position on the globe, so invariably is a love of change implanted in the young.

“The systems of stereotypes may be the core of our personal tradition, the defenses of our position in society. They are an ordered more or less consistent picture of the world, to which our habits, our tastes, our capacities, our comforts and our hopes have adjusted themselves. They may not be a complete picture of the world, but they are a picture of a possible world to which we are adapted. In that world, people and things have their well-known places, and do certain expected things. We feel at home there. We fit in. We are members.” PeopleWorldFeelsWellsMayHomeCertainKnownPositionHabitFitComfortTasteMembersCapacityTraditionDefenseExpectedCoreConsistentStereotypeWell KnownAdapted Author:Walter Lippmann

“I can have little patience with those who oppose ... the theory of evolution or what are called "mechanistic" explanations of the phenomena of life because of certain moral consequences which at first seem to follow from these theories, and still less with those who regard it as irrelevant or impious to ask certain questions at all.

“The question of crime is one of concern to everybody. But the position is that the security forces in our country for the last four decades did not concentrate on suppressing crime. Their main objective was to suppress, to crush political activity. And in the process, crime grew to unacceptable proportions. And criminals were able to form powerful syndicates, and they virtually took over the control of the life of the community in certain areas.” CountryAbleLastsFormPoliticalCertainForceProcessCommunityPowerfulFourSecurityCrimePositionGrewActivityAreasConcernDecadesCriminalsObjectivesOur CountryCrushProportionSuppressingSecurity ForcesSyndicate Author:Nelson Mandela
“Nothing in life is certain except death, taxes and the second law of thermodynamics. All three are processes in which useful or accessible forms of some quantity, such as energy or money, are transformed into useless, inaccessible forms of the same quantity. That is not to say that these three processes don't have fringe benefits: taxes pay for roads and schools; the second law of thermodynamics drives cars, computers and metabolism; and death, at the very least, opens up tenured faculty positions.” SchoolFormLawLife IsCertainThreeEnergyProcessPayCarPositionTaxesBenefitsComputerUselessFacultyTransformedQuantityFringeInaccessibleMetabolismThermodynamics Author:Seth Lloyd

They see free speech as at best a delusion, at worst a threat to the welfare of minorities and women....The most obvious (and cynical) explanation for the switched positions is the switched situations.
