absurd combine kinda mesh met onto people pure recording scenes slightly voices
It was very exciting, ... It's all very new to me, you know? It's an interesting and fascinating process. There's something very pure about it being from the page, into the air, and onto the recording machine. You have that and you combine that with doing scenes where they're going to mesh these voices together, but you're doing a scene with people you've never even met before, which is slightly absurd but kinda great. Johnny Depp

books gain gained golden knew lost magic opportunity philly playing posted score scoreboard whatever win
Any win is important nowadays. Obviously, Philly has been playing well and their score was posted on the scoreboard before we started.

But nonetheless, it's another day in the books and we gained a game. Chipper Jones

Silence is the only answer you should give to the fools. Where ignorance speaks, intelligence should not give advices. Benito Mussolini
ignorance circles drawing
So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. There was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. It helped give us peace of mind. The danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently. Jane Goodall
ignorance rights law
Those who want their rights respected under the Constitution and the law ought to set the example themselves of observing the Constitution and the law.

Those who disregard the rules of society are not exhibiting a superior intelligence, are not promoting freedom and independence, are not following the path of civilization, but are displaying the traits of ignorance, of servitude, of savagery, and treading the way that leads back to the jungle. Calvin Coolidge

The people who see the population explosion in the Malthusian way - as a geometric progression - forget that population growth is not a biological issue.
