I tell people that the scales lie. you may have played basketball and weighed 175 pounds, with a 30-inch waist, back when you were in college. and you may still weigh 175 at 55. but you probably have a 35-inch waist and you've probably lost 30 or 40 pounds of muscle -- and gained 30 or 40 pounds of fat. the tape measure doesn't lie. get that tape measure out and put it on your hips and your waist. keep checking it. and keep exercising and cutting those calories down until that tape measure gets close to where you were in your prime.

A free culture supports and protects creators and innovators. it does this directly by granting intellectual property rights. but it does so indirectly by limiting the reach of those rights, to guarantee that follow-on creators and innovators remain as free as possible from the control of the past. a free culture is not a culture without property, just as a free market is not a market in which everything is free. the opposite of a free culture is a "permission culture" -- a culture in which creators get to create only with the permission of the powerful, or of creators from the past.

The things that inform student culture are created and controlled by the unseen culture, the sociological aspects of our climbing culture, our 'me' generation, our yuppie culture, our suvs, or, you know, shopping culture, our war culture.

It is utterly and irrevocably possible to empty all hurts and therefore to love, to have compassion. to have compassion means to have passion for all things, not just between two people, but for all human beings, for all things of the earth, the animals, the trees - everything the earth contains. when we have such compassion we will not despoil the earth as we are doing now and we will have no wars.
