We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Team leaders have to connect with their team and themselves. if they don't know their team's strengths and weaknesses, they cannot hand off responsibilities to the team. and if they don't know their own strengths and weaknesses, they will not hand off responsibilities to the team.

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.

More girls were killed in the last 50 years, precisely because they were girls, than men killed in all the wars in the 20th century. more girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the 20th century. the equivalent of 5 jumbo jets worth of women die in labor each day... life time risk of maternal death is 1,000x higher in a poor country than in the west. that should be an international scandal.

I can't imagine where i'd be without the opportunities provided to me in sports. sports taught me that gender isn't an issue; in fact, when people talk about me being the first female governor, i'm a little absent from that discussion, because i've never thought of gender as an issue. in sports, you learn self-discipline, healthy competition, to be gracious in victory and defeat, and the importance of being part of a team and understanding what part you play on that team. you all work together to reach a goal, and i think all of those factors come into play in my role as governor.

Skiing is my favorite sport, because, that's the only sport that is actually better to watch the worst the person is at it. "that guy won a gold medal in the olympics" "oh yeah, that's cool, i wanna watch the fat guy" "come on dude, you can take that hill"

There is no cheap way to achieve the ability to turn pro in tennis; it unfortunately is more expensive than team sports.
