"Look, we're gonna spend half the night driving around the Hills looking for this one party, and you're gonna say it sucks, and we're all gonna leave and we're gonna go look for this other party. But all the parties and all the bars, they all suck. I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's someone who's more important she should be talking to, and it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack."
Thanks to the South for destroying the faith, one psycho preacher at a time. Here's an earlier version with more background.
I'm really proud of those 40 people who left in protest. I can't believe there weren't more. I tend to believe that people, despite their beliefs are generally more rational than that. Maybe I'm wrong and it's a horrible world after all. Being a Church of Christ Democrat all my life and coming from a family of such gives a guy a lot of perspective. I encourage everyone to be in the minority. It's humbling and make you a better person, I think.

Can I say that I was a member of Phi Beta Kool? Of course I can. I got more awkward sweaty hugs than I'd like to count. I miss that socially lacking old guy.

Hey, I was an officer in Phi Beta Kool. I even had an autographed poster.

These are the people who really frighten me. It is one thing to disagree, it is entirely another to forbid anyone else to do the same in your presence.
How does this make sense to people?

...a stone, a leaf, an unfound door; of a stone, a leaf, a door. And of all the forgotten faces....
O waste of loss, in the hot mazes, lost, among bright stars on this most weary unbright cinder, lost! Remembering speechlessly we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, an unfound door. Where? When?
O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.
--Look Homeward, Angel
Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.
--John Stuart Mill
We have all read in scientific books, and indeed, in all romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; but thou shalt not know thyself. We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.
--G.K. Chesterton
We were, for the briefest of moments, something greater than the sum of our uncertain parts; we were youth itself, in all its painful glory and sharp joy.
