“History has shown that there are very few mechanisms as effective at maintaining the status quo as a set of institutionalized regulations. Once set in regulatory concrete, reconsideration of the basic underlying assumptions is very difficult. While it will be an uphill fight to re-examine the basic underlying assumptions of any law or administrative rule, it is clearly not impossible. It will just take longer than if not so well institutionalized.” IfsWellsLawFightingDifficultImpossibleInternetAssumptionMechanismConcreteRegulationFree SpeechStatus QuoMaintainingAdministrativeReconsiderationMaintaining The Status Quo Author:Paul Baran
“I could have wished that the reputations of many brave men were not to be imperilled in the mouth of a single individual, to stand or fall according as he spoke well or ill.

“There were many generations of Latino people coming to this country, coming from difficult political or social situations in their own countries, and they worked very hard to have their kids go to universities. Well, those kids came out and they are now doctors and architects, or they are on the Supreme Court. That has a reflection in Hollywood. So, we are actually very proud that our characters are Latinos, and I think it's good for diversity and cultural interaction.” PeopleThinkingWellsCountryHardCharacterKidsPoliticalSocialDifficultSituationGenerationsProudDiversityReflectionDoctorsHollywoodCourtUniversitySupremeArchitectInteractionSupreme CourtLatino Author:Antonio Banderas

“I think the most common meme is that it's too difficult to change. It's too risky to change. My nature doesn't allow me to change. When you're thinking that, you're not understanding what your nature is. All of us come from this place of well-being, love, and kindness. But we've taken on these other things, and we think that they're our nature. Our nature really is to be like God.” ThinkingWellsDifficultUnderstandingCommonKindnessTakenWell BeingLove And KindnessMemes Author:Wayne Dyer
