#quotes #kathie-lee-gifford #fear

In truth, one cannot, it seems, oppose mechanism and finalism, one cannot oppose mechanism and anthropomorphism, for if the functioning of a machine is explained by relations of pure causality, the construction of a machine can be understood neither without purpose nor without man. A machine is made by man and for man, with a view toward certain ends to be obtained, in the form of effects to be produced, a mechanical model of any phenomena is explanatory only so long as we take machines as already granted. ~Georges Canguilhem

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked.

A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

But you know, my dad called me the laziest white kid he ever met. When I screamed back at him that he was putting down a race of people to call me lazy, his answer was that's not what he was doing, and that I was also the dumbest white kid he ever met. ~Norman Lear
