“I almost gave in and listened to that guy defend Islam with words I didn’t want to hear,” Gentries said. “But then I remembered how much easier it is to live in a world of black-and-white in which I can assign the label of ‘other’ to someone and use him as a vessel for all my fears and insecurities.”

“big government should not stand between a man and his money”

i mean, “what’s good for business is good for the country”

"Why are so many people in their 20s taking so long to grow up?"

The article written by someone who’s undoubtably a baby boomer.

And here’s the correct response:

Perhaps if the baby boomers didn’t rig the financial system in their favor, inflate housing prices, crash the dollar, grant themselves unfunded medicare and social security benefits for their vastly extended lifespan, increase college and healthcare costs 20-40%/yr, start two hugely expensive and mostly pointless wars, burn half the world’s oil, scalp the science/tech sectors that their parents built for WWII and the space race, replacing them with finance/real estate ponzi schemes to extend an empty consumer lifestyle, and then outsource virtually everything except for senior executive and immigrant service jobs, their kids could start their own lives?

Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty one...

Bruce had me up to three miles a day, really at a good pace. We’d run the three miles in twenty one or twenty-two minutes. Just under eight minutes a mile (Note: when running on his own in 1968, Lee would get his time down to six-and-a-half minutes per mile J. So this morning he said to me “We’re going to go five.” 1 said, “Bruce, I can’t go five. I’m a helluva lot older than you are, and I can’t do five.” He said, “When we get to three, we’ll shift gears and it’s only two more and you’ll do it.” I said “Okay, hell, I’ll go for it.” So we get to three, we go into tile fourth mile and I’m okay for three or four minutes, and then I really begin to give out. I’m tired, my heart’s pounding, I can’t go any more and so I say to him, “Bruce if I run any more,“ - and we’re still running - ”if I run any more I’m liable to have a heart attack and die.” He said, “Then die.” It made me so mad that I went the full five miles. Afterward I went to the shower and then I wanted to talk to him about it. I said, you know, “Why did you say that?” He said, “Because you might as well be dead. Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or any thing else, it’ll spread over into the rest of your life. It’ll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.”
