“The kind of propaganda that some of the religious groups, aided and abetted by the opposition, put forth in that campaign utterly disgusted me. If I needed anything to show me what prejudice can do to the intelligence of human beings that campaign was the best lesson I could have had.” IfsHumansKindShowsCan DoReligiousHuman BeingsGroupsAtheismNeededLessonsPrejudiceCampaignsPropagandaOppositionShow MeDisgusted Book:The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt Source: The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt
“When is a game more than a game? So often, we pay lip service to the uplifting power of sports, the teamwork, the camaraderie, the lessons in taming one's own ego for the sake of the group. But you have to wonder, how often is that still really true?” StillsGamesSportsPayWonderGroupsLessonsEgoSakeLipsUpliftingTeamworkOften IsCamaraderieReally TrueLip ServiceTaming Author:Michel Martin
“One of the lessons we've learned from the last 25 years of terrorism is that groups that have safe havens are able to develop external attack capabilities in a way that groups that don't have safe havens are not. So we need to find a way to squeeze them significantly in their safe haven. Taking away territory that really matters to them is really, really important because it prevents them from focusing on external attacks.” WayNeedsYearsImportantMatterAbleLastsGroupsHavensLessonsSafeTerrorismTerritoryCapabilitySafe Haven Author:Michael Morell
“I think there are quite a few new Instro/Surf groups that are really great. The Mermen are good and there doing something different. The Space Cossacks, Penetrators, The Fathoms, I really like The Falcons from Canada, Mike Beddoes is a really fine guitar player. I like Nokie Edwards of The Ventures, who gave me a guitar lesson once when we were playing opposite them in 1962 at The Rose Garden Ballroom in Pismo Beach. That's were The Impacts started and got signed to Del Fi in 1962.” ThinkingDifferentSpacePlayerGroupsFineLessonsGardenOppositesImpactRoseGuitarBeachCanadaVentureReally GreatMikeSurfGuitar PlayerFathomBallroomFalconRose GardenCossacks Author:Merrell Fankhauser
“It was a very easy way to have a group of friends on a very large campus - a sense of identity. It was a great place to learn how to navigate a variety of personalities, which you kind of have to do in life. You've got the shy woman and you've got the obnoxious woman and you've got the brainiac and you've got the social climber and you've got the introvert and the extrovert, and you're all living together. I think it gave me valuable experience in learning how to live with people that are different than you are. And that's an important lesson. You can bet it comes in very handy in the Senate.” PeopleThinkingWayKindImportantDifferentTogetherSocialEasyGroupsIdentityPersonalityLessonsValuableVarietyShySenateIntrovertCampusNavigateObnoxiousHandyEasy WayLiving TogetherClimbersImportant LessonsExtrovertsGroup Of Friends Author:Claire McCaskill
