“We are vulnerable to fear only when we leave the present. If I drift into the past, my regrets surge up, my memories of failing and forsaking. If I shift into the future, I meet with doubt and delusion, fear of what's to come, what I'm not capable of controlling. It's in the present moment that I belong.” IfsMomentsPastFearMemoriesDoubtFailingRegretFutureCapableVulnerableDelusionPresent Moment Author:Jan Phillips
“Is it all right for the government to allow the murder of an innocent human being? From the moment of conception, a new life comes into being with a complete genetic blueprint. The sex is determined. The blood type is determined. The moment that I learned the unborn was not part of the woman's body but its own individual human being, I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.” HumansMomentsBodyGovernmentChoicesIndividualSexHuman BeingsBloodTypeMurderDeterminedInnocentVulnerableConceptionNew LifeUnbornBlueprintsWomen's BodiesBlood Type Author:Kathy Ireland

“For a decade Americans have been steeped in the rhetoric of "zero tolerance" and the faith that virtually all problems from drug addiction to lousy teaching can be solved by pouring on the punishment. Even without a Commander in Chief who pledges to rid the world of evildoers, smoke them out of their holes and the like, we would be vulnerable to the temptation to brush aside frustrating complexities and relieve intolerable fear (at least for the moment) by settling on one or more scapegoats to crush. To imagine that trauma casts out fantasy is a dangerous mistake.” WorldHas BeensMomentsProblemWould BeMistakeFantasyImagineTeachingDangerousDrugAddictionCastsTraumaDecadesTolerancePunishmentHolesTemptationVulnerableChiefsSmokeSettlingComplexityCrushZeroImagine ThatRhetoricBrushesFrustratingCommandersPledgePouringDrug AddictionDrug AddictCommander In ChiefScapegoatZero Tolerance Author:Ellen Willis
