When the courts decide that murderers rapists and others who maliciously break our social contract deserve health care that most working Americans can't afford they are condemning good people to death.

If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.

No society has been able to abolish human sadness no political system can deliver us from the pain of living from our fear of death our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition not vice versa.

All stories interest me and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice loyalty violence death political and social issues freedom.

There will be no lasting peace either in the heart of individuals or in social customs until death is outlawed.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

Good-looking individuals are treated better than homely ones in virtually every social situation from dating to trial by jury.

I suppose I was a little bit of what would be called today a nerd. I didn't have girlfriends and really I wasn't a very social boy.

My dad thinks Obama is a socialist and all these extreme views.

I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.
