Longevity in my family's been pretty good. and my grandparents were pretty spry at their age, so i figured i'd probably stay skinny and fairly agile. i used to do old men all the time in sketches. and there used to be an organization called the gray panthers. and they would send me, oh, terrible letters about making fun of old people. and i would just always say, "i'm playing the old person i intend to become!"

Longevity In My Family's Been Pretty Good.

She's quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny. roller-skate skinny. i watched her once from the window when she was crossing over fifth avenue to go to the park, and that's what she is, roller-skate skinny. you'd like her.
Nice Fifth Avenue Parks
I wrote a huge number of letters that spring: one a week to naoko, several to reiko, and several more to midori. i wrote letters in the classroom, i wrote letters at my desk at home with seagull in my lap, i wrote letters at empty tables during my breaks at the italian restaurant. it was as if i were writing letters to hold together the pieces of my crumbling life.
Spring Home Writing
I am the people, i'm not the pig. you got to make a distinction. and the people are going to have to attack the pigs. the people are going to have to stand up against the pigs. that's what the panthers is doing, that's what the panthers are doing all over the world.

How precious is the family as the privileged place for transmitting the faith! speaking about family life, i would like to say one thing: today, as brazil and the church around the world celebrate this feast of saints joachim and anne, grandparents day is also being celebrated. how important grandparents are for family life, for passing on the human and religious heritage which is so essential for each and every society! how important it is to have intergenerational exchanges and dialogues, especially within the context of the family.
Religious Passing On Grandparent
I think it's possible for me to approach the whole problem with a broader scope.when you look at something through an, an organizational eye, whether it's a, a religious organization, political organization, or a civic organization, if you look at it only through the eye of that organization, you see what the organization wants you to see. but you lose your ability to be objective.
Religious Eye Thinking
I'm 17 years old. i'm not a straight-a student or anything. even so, i figured out how to make an internet that they can't wiretap. i figured out how to jam their person-tracking technology. i can turn innocent people into suspects and turn guilty people into innocents in their eyes. i could get metal onto an airplane or beat a no-fly list. i figured this stuff out by looking at the web and by thinking about it. if i can do it, terrorists can do it. they told us they took away our freedom to make us safe. do you feel safe?

I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.
Writing Airplane
There was a wonderful little short four-year time period when marvelous things happened. it started in 1908, when the wright brothers flew in paris, and everybody said, 'ooh, hey, i can do that.' there's only a few people that have flown in early 1908. in four years, 39 countries had hundreds of airplanes, thousands of pilots.
