“One kid said to me, he said, Mr. Lloyd, we really owe you. And I explained to him, man, you owe me absolutely nothing. I said, whatever kind of career I had, it has served me well, but you do owe some people. And the people you owe are the folks who are going to come behind you. It's incumbent upon each watch — when you play your 10, 11 years and you're in your group — when you leave, I truly hope that you've done all you can possibly do to leave it a better place for the folks who come behind you.” PeopleMenYearsWellsKindSaidDonePlayKidsBehindsCareersWatchesGroupsFolksBetter PlaceBehind YouAbsolutely NothingIncumbents Author:Earl Lloyd

“Sociologists and historians have avoided looking for the family sources of wars and social violence.

In other words, I wasn't born into a world that was already here before me, nor do I live simply as one individual among millions of other individuals, nor do I leave everything behind to live on after me. People live thinking of themselves as members of a group or society. However, this isn't really true.

These are serious times: As the president says, it's the worst economic crisis since the Thirties.
