Let us understand what our own selfish genes are up to because we may then at least have the chance to upset their designs.
I use technology for communication, but I don't have a Blackberry or an iPhone. I use an outdated cell phone, but I'm fine with it.
It used to be that the only ones with access to cutting-edge technology were top government labs, big companies and the ultra-rich. It was simply too expensive for the rest of us to afford.
The old problems - love, money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please us.
My mother used to go out on her own, and I used to have to keep a look out for my stepfather coming home.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.
God wants to free us from ourselves, and there's nothing like suffering to show us that we need something bigger than our abilities and our strength and our explanations.
I think showing heroes as fallible helps us and reminds us that we are ourselves fallible and no man is perfect but we can still achieve great things.
We'd go to the fraternity house. It was a good place to practice. But we really wanted the kids to overhear us. And whoever heard us would go nuts over it.
