According to the l.a. times, attorney general john ashcroft wants to take "a harder stance" on the death penalty. what's a harder stance on the death penalty? we're already killing the guy? how do you take a harder stance on the death penalty? what, are you going to tickle him first? give him itching powder? put a thumbtack on the electric chair?

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...'

In all forms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance your combat stance.
Everyday Strategy Form
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

When i was a kid growing up in kentucky, on lucky summer nights, my cousin would pick me up in his chevy super sport and drive me down along the ohio river to cincinnati to hear some rock 'n' roll. those were exciting times, and the bands would play late into the night, rocking soaked in sweat. when i hear the ready stance, these memories come back to me and i remember that cincinnati has produced so many wonderful musicians. the ready stance is among that number. you will be hearing a lot about them in the future.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

So mo began filling the silence with words. he lured them out of the pages as if they had only been waiting for his voice, words long and short, words sharp and soft, cooing, purring words. they danced through the room, painting stained glass pictures, tickling the skin. even when meggie nodded off she could still hear them, although mo had closed the book long ago. words that explained the world to her, its dark side and its light side, words that built a wall to keep out bad dreams. and not a single bad dream came over that wall for the rest of the night.

All pleasure in the world is a passing dream.

We should never, never be afraid or ashamed about dreams. the dreams won’t all come true; we won’t always make it; but where there is no vision a people perish. where people have no dreams and no hopes and aspirations, life becomes dull and a meaningless wilderness.
