“Why do so many young people literally die to belong to fraternities, sororities, and other college social organizations? The answer is complicated, but here is a starting point: Ever since the medieval universities were founded, young people have done whatever it takes to gain acceptance, to break with their past lives, to achieve a sense of power, to carve out a society of their own that isn't quite what their tutors and teachers had in mind. In the United States, hazing and drinking have been endemic since colonial days.” PeopleMindHas BeensStatesDonePastYoungDiesSocialAnswersUnitedBreakUnited StatesTeacherAchieveAcceptanceCollegeGainsOrganizationDrinkingUniversityStartingComplicatedBelongingMedievalStarting PointPast LifeWhatever It TakesFraternityTutorSocial OrganizationSororityHazing Book:Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking Source: Wrongs of Passage: Fraternities, Sororities, Hazing, and Binge Drinking
“In examining the CIA's past and present use of the U.S. media, the Committee finds two reasons for concern. The first is the potential, inherent in covert media operations, for manipulating or incidentally misleading the American public. The second is the damage to the credibility and independence of a free press which may be caused by covert relationships with the U.S. journalists and media organizations.” FirstsMayTwoReasonUsePastMediaConcernOrganizationIndependencePressesJournalistOperationsDamageInherentCommitteesCredibilityCiaMisleadExaminingPast And PresentFree PressCovert Author:Frank Church
“Christianity has held back any further advances in human consciousness for the past thousand years. And for the past century it's been in direct conflict with its illegitimate offspring, Communism (again with a capital C). Both ask the individual to sacrifice his self-interest to the higher goals of the organization. (Which is okay by me as long as it's voluntary; but as soon as either becomes too big - and takes on that damned capital C - they stop asking for cooperation and start demanding it.) Any higher states of human enlightenment have been sacrificed between these two monoliths.” YearsHumansLongHas BeensTwoSelfStatesBigsPastAsksIndividualGoalInterestConsciousnessChristianitySacrificeCenturyHigherThousandConflictEnlightenmentDirectOkayOrganizationAskingCommunismCooperationThousand YearsSelf InterestOffspringHuman ConsciousnessHigher Goals Author:David Gerrold
“Order is the law of nature, the universal trend, the cosmic direction. If time is an arrow, that arrow points toward order.
