He should have known better because, early in his learnings under his brother mahmoud, he had discovered that long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings, but short words were slippery, unpredictable changing their meanings without any pattern. or so he seemed to grok. short human words were never like a short martian word - such as grok which forever meant exactly the same thing. short human words were like trying to lift water with a knife. and this had been a very short word.

There is a very broad theory that society gets the right to hang, as the individual gets the right to defend himself. suppose she does; there are certain principles which limit this right. society has got the murderer within four walls; he never can do any more harm. has society any need to take that man's life to protect itself? if any society has only the right that the individual has, she has no right to inflict the penalty of death, because she can effectually restrain the individual from ever again committing his offence.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
