“I have had the rich satisfaction of knowing and working with many openly gay and lesbian Americans, and I have come to realize that "gay" is an artificial category when it comes to measuring a man or woman's on-the-job performance or commitment to shared goals. It says little about the person. Our differences and prejudices pale next to our historic challenge.” MenLittlesPersonsJobsNextGoalRealizingChallengesDifferencesKnowingRichGayCommitmentPerformancesPrejudiceSatisfactionCategoriesArtificialPaleHistoricMeasuring Author:Alan K.

“I have way too many commitments. I get pulled in too many directions and I never seem to be able to satisfy anybody. People get turned on by knowing a celebrity, even my friends and family. They feel that there's something exciting about me, but in reality there's no substance to it. People in airports just hold on to me expecting something and it seems that I always come up empty. It's frustrating because I'm trying to please everybody, and ya just can't do that ... at least I can't.” PeopleWayFeelsTryingI CanRealitySeemsAbleKnowingPleaseMy FriendsCommitmentEmptyExcitingCome UpSubstanceExpectingFamily And FriendsFrustratingAirportsExpecting Something Author:Tim Allen

“The virtual community? The word virtual does not mean "virtue." It means "not." When I go to the store and they say: The shirt that you brought in is virtually done. It means it is not done, in the same way that the virtual community is not a community. There is no commitment there. When you log off, you are not a member of it anymore. My flesh and blood community, the sense of knowing my neighbor, knowing the guy across the street, having dinner with the people down the block, getting along with each other and making compromises, that's a genuine community with a commitment.” PeopleWayMeanDoeDoneGuyCommunityKnowingVirtueBloodStreetsMembersCommitmentDinnerStoresNeighborFleshGenuineBlockCompromiseShirtsFlesh And BloodGetting AlongNo Commitment Author:Clifford Stoll
“We've lived through a time in which people have felt they could forge their own future and make a better world.

Knowing this, we can't stop now.” PeopleWorldMayDreamFeltKnowingCommitmentImportanceRealisticOur DreamsMagnitude Author:Peter Yarrow
