american-author believe espn fired
ESPN has said that they fired me without having been told to do so by Disney, and I actually believe that. I think they did it on their own.
equal facing joe relatively
You need some counterpoint to a big developer. With NRDC and St. Joe facing off with each other, that's relatively equal competition.
american-author book date future heard maybe
The publication date of that book was Sept. 10, 2001. That's why nobody's ever heard of it. Maybe I'll do another one in the future someday.
running people risk
Now, for pure bloggers, for individual people who are just posting their own thoughts, they would still run the same risk of saying something wrong or embarrassing, but they wouldn't harm their institutions by doing so.
memories powerful people
Jewish persecution is a historical memory of the present generation and people fear it in the present day, and that's why those references are so much more powerful. I just understand that better now.

A spacecraft is a metaphor of national inspiration: majestic, technologically advanced, produced at dear cost and entrusted with precious cargo, rising above the constraints of the earth.

Set aside the many competing explanations of the Big Bang; something made an entire cosmos out of nothing. It is this realization-that something transcendent started it all-which has hard-science types...using terms like 'miracle.'
christmas earth mercy
Peace on earth and mercy mild are still possible. On Christmas Eve, all things are possible.
today-life people news
But by showing us live coverage of every bad thing happening everywhere in the world, cable news makes life seem like it's just an endless string of disasters - when, for most people in most places today, life is fairly good.
climate global-warming reason
The only reason runaway global warming seems unstoppable is that we have not yet tried to stop it.
sports thinking lessons
I don't think there are many larger lessons to be found in sports.
people progress age
A transition from material want to meaning want is in progress on an historically unprecedented scale-involving hundreds of millions of people-and may eventually be recognized as the principal cultural development of our age.
