thinking feelings littles
My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution. I would say, based on the little I know, Darwinism explains microevolution within species quite well. As to its broader consequence and implications, I don't think it explains individual species evolution at all well.
stars real men
I don't consider an actor a star if he's paid $20 million and grimaces in front of the camera and has a stunt man stand in for him. They may be fine actors, but they're not role models. The real stars are wearing body armor in 130-degree heat . . . They're getting shot at and they don't have any stunt doubles standing in for them.
law rights done
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
lying listening bed
I am so in love with just lying in bed listening to Mozart.
mean animal breathing
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
sleep home night
Sleep more at night. If it's allowed at work or home, take a nap in the afternoon. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.
eye hair ifs
If there are finer beings than German short hairs, I don't know what they are. In their eyes is peace.
zero mean greed
It means zero to be against greed.
done maps planning
Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.
mean dust devil
If we are just specks of dust hit by lightning, if we have no spark of God in us, why not just take whatever we can and devil take the hindmost? I mean, we are fools not to do that if there is no right or wrong.
beautiful sleep america
It is so great to sleep in safe, glorious, beautiful America. I just cannot get over it.
party israel realizing
When are American Jews going to realize that the Republican Party is far better for Israel than the Democrats?
thank-you thanksgiving sacrifice
I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
winning upset trying
If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators.
