issues perspective understanding
I have always been spurred on by my not finding expressed anywhere the kinds of perspectives that I thought these issues most perspicuously needed and deserved; but that is just another way of saying that Americans have overwhelmingly expunged from their public understanding the strongest and most clarifying resources out of ancient and traditional European cultures. By far we prefer our familiar and user-friendly parochialisms, and there is no percentage in trying to pry these pachydermal plates apart.
philosophy media issues
The ideological are individuals ultimately swamped by the complexities of modern life and political and economic relations; they have deliberately attached themselves to some caricatural maven like Falwell or Limbaugh who speaks to their manipulable pathos. The gulf between such individuals' education or intellectual competence or information and the actual issues of our times is simply too great. They were bred to be culture-media for false consciousness, junkies who crawl on their bellies across broken glass for another hit of "clarifying wisdom" from some ideological Pope.
spiritual men issues
But for the Jews this moral-spiritual issue raises the same societal problem it does for the Greeks: how can a man have the "right" to make himself spiritually or rationally destitute or retarded when this corrupts the whole quality of the culture that we all together need and depend on? If anyone wants a cloistered and closed-minded life, an anti-aristic life, let him either go off and live among the wolves-or else join the community of like-minded idiots that (alas) compose and define the basic terms of modern society.
eye opposites issues
All that the posture of skepticism accomplishes is to freeze the ego in an ignorantist poverty that never stretches or diversifies its resources of imagination or understanding. Any uncultured cretin can close his eyes and try to reduce the issues down to linear simplisms and say, "I am doubting, I am proving my magisterial or sovereign control over my own mind." Doubt is a useful and significant test of one's critical powers, but by itself it bears little if any significant cultural charge of enlightenment or satori; indeed it is the very opposite kind of thing.
ball happened second sword
The second thing that happened was that we didn't get them the ball when we had our scorers open. It was kind of a double-edged sword for us.
care help types
These are the types of communities where we come from, and this is one way we can help take care of our own.
eric gets guy harris
We're a fullback-oriented offense. Our fullback Patrick Harris gets most of the carries. But our big-play guy has been our tailback Eric Crenshaw.
answer covered intensity knew open picked second wish
I wish I knew the answer to why. I think part of it was they picked up their intensity a little bit, and the things that were open for us in the first half, they covered up (in the second half).
doubt game people plan shoot tenacity
People would game plan for Bryce because he could flat-out shoot the ball, and there was no doubt about it. What people don't know about him is his tenacity on defense.
biggest break flows reasons sure water
One of the biggest reasons is to make sure the water flows away from the house. You don't want the water to break into the foundation.
afford create definitely good playing plays possession somebody team
Oh, we're most definitely concerned. You always are when somebody does something and does it well. They have possession receivers and a quarterback that does a good job. We're playing a team that can create big plays and we can't afford to let them have that.
recommend
We recommend you do it from a ladder, it's safer.
awards
We give more awards than a lot of tournaments do.
final game gave intensity kids played
We were one game away from being in the final four. I thought our kids played with intensity and heart, and they never gave up.
