Some problems are so complex that you have to be highly intelligent and well informed just to be undecided about them.
The name 'Republican' in some ways has been hijacked by obstructionists.
If the spectrum linking everyday depression to Major Depression sometimes hinders understanding of it, it also offers an opportunity for empathy. Because almost everyone, at some point, experiences feelings of sadness, of hopelessness, of emptiness, not to mention lethargy and irritability.
When I was younger, I made some decisions that I shouldn't have. And, in hindsight, I've almost always been wrong when I haven't listened to myself.
I spent some time in India and thought I might write about Hinduism. But it's so far removed from my experience I couldn't even get my mind around it to write about it.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I've been thinking if 'GoT' would lend itself easily to an MMORPG. I mean, it certainly has the background and incredible storylines for it, along with some pretty huge characters to hinge the story around.

Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history - revisionist historians is what I like to call them.
The poison of skepticism becomes, like alcoholism, tuberculosis, and some other diseases, much more virulent in a hitherto virgin soil.
I watch a lot of hockey. There are some good hockey players and there are some awfully stupid hockey players.
Some critics argue that a tsunami of hogwash has already rendered the Web useless. I disagree. We are indeed inundated by online noise pollution, but the problem is soluble.
Some of my fondest memories are holidays by the seaside.
As a cop, I dealt with every kind of bum and criminal. They all have more integrity than some Hollywood people.
I had some friends here from North Carolina who'd never seen a homer, so I gave them a couple.
