“If a State is governed by the principles of reason, poverty and misery are subjects of shame; if a State is not governed by the principles of reason, riches and honors are the subjects of shame.”

Hebrew 12:7-11

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:59:34 -0600

It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

“The people most affected by [the War on Drugs] are black and brown and poor. It’s the abandoned inner cores of our urban areas. And, as we said before, economically, we don’t need those people. The American economy doesn’t need them. So, as long as they stay in their ghettos, and they only kill each other, we’re willing to pay a police presence to keep them out of our America. And to let them fight over scraps, which is what the drug war effectively is.”

“Despite its crudity and simplicity, ‘Twist and Shout’ sounds good - in fact, any attempt to sophisticate it would make it sound much worse - and I fundamentally, profoundly disagree with anyone who equates musical complication and intelligence with superiority. It doesn’t work like that, which is maybe why these people despise pop music, because it’s one of the very few things that doesn’t. I don’t dislike classical music because of its cultivation - I’m not an inverted snob. I dislike it (or at least, I’m unaffected by it) because it sounds churchy, and because, to my ears at least, it can’t deal with the smaller feelings that constitute a day and a week and a life…”

By reblogging this, I do not imply a tacit endorsement of the author’s philosophy. I am intrigued by it, but doubt that I could defend it in an argument with my musically wiser little brother.

“[Edward Cullen is] the most ridiculous person who’s so amazing at everything. I think a lot of actors tried to play that aspect. I just couldn’t do that. And the more I read the script, the more I hated this guy, so that’s how I played him, a manic-depressive who hates himself. Plus he’s a 108 year old virgin so he’s obviously got some issues there.”

““If America could be, once again, a nation of self-reliant farmers, craftsmen, hunters, ranchers, and artists, then the rich would have little power to dominate others. Neither to serve nor to rule: That was the American dream.””
