Sometimes we realize but persist in our errors, in our mad self-love, and attempt to hide this selfism run amok, this violence, thereby making it all the more insidious. We look into our souls, and much like Dorian Gray's portrait, do not like the rancor and decay we see within. We then compound our errors by speaking different names for our actions, filling in well with the trends of political correctness. Witness the phenomena of "collateral damage" and selective reduction...
...additional concern is genuine fear, and as in most cases where the emotion rears up, it is difficult to quell. "European consumers," says Dowell, "are genuinely concerned about both genetically engineered foods and those that are treated with hormones." The recent scares over mad cow disease have only reinforced the European concern over anything that might be considered potentially suspect in foods. European solutions -- such as specially labeling hormone-treated meats -- have been rebuffed by the U.S. as just another means of keeping European consumers from buying American. The latest scientific report is now expected to reignite the seemingly endless...
...really makes me mad, because we know he could have made it," Angela Sanders, the daughter of slain teacher William "Dave" Sanders, said in a television appearance earlier this week.

The sounds were quite fresh but didn't add up to anything organic to challenge the brain beyond the ear. Glennie's infallible sense of rhythm, however, made for some...
When my family and I went to see Tommy five years ago, we--mother, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents-all entered the theater mad as hell at each other, for various reasons. We watched a musical about a child who witnesses a murder, is driven to blindness and muteness by his parents' hysteria, is molested by his uncle, becomes a pinball god, turns into a rock star and finally becomes a normal and forgiving person. The costumes and lights whirled before us with delirious madness. The volume was through the roof. And at the end of the show...
