The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic.
One death is a tragedy one million is a statistic.
Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla.
I listened to the radio so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.
I get that same queasy nervous thrilling feeling every time I go to work. That's never worn off since I was 12 years-old with my dad's 8-millimeter movie camera.
Remember in 1973 the same science chatter said that the coming Ice Age is going to occur we're going to lose millions of people. And the politicians knew how to solve it they just didn't have the courage to solve it they were going to put coal dust on the Arctic.

With his trademark courage and conviction President Reagan led us out of the Cold War spreading his vision of freedom resulting in the release of millions of people from the yoke of communism.

But when it comes to risking their careers or risking being invited to lunch by the establishment it turns out that's remarkably rare.
