“Our parents and grandparents understood this truth deeply. They believed - as we do - that to create jobs, a modern economy requires modern investments: educating, innovating and rebuilding for our children's future.

“Even as a child I was fascinated by death, not in a spiritual sense, but in an aesthetic one. A hamster or guinea pig would pass away, and, after burying the body, I'd dig it back up: over and over, until all that remained was a shoddy pelt. It earned me a certain reputation, especially when I moved on to other people's pets. "Igor," they called me. "Wicked, spooky." But I think my interest was actually fairly common, at least among adolescent boys. At that age, death is something that happens only to animals and grandparents, and studying it is like a science project.” PeopleThinkingChildrenBodyHappensAgeSpiritualCertainInterestAnimalCommonBoysStudyProjectsMovedReputationWickedPetFascinatedAestheticPigsGrandparentPassing AwaySpookyMoved OnGuineaBuryingHamstersAll That RemainsGuinea PigsI Moved On Author:David Sedaris
