Ever occur to you why some of us can be this much concerned with animals suffering? Because government is not. Why not? Animals don't vote.
One thing we are concerned about is what the audience of the future is going to look like. We've got to capture a new generation to support the S.C. Philharmonic.
I'm kind of concerned about 'Ego & Hubris' because I'm thinking that people will read it and maybe even be entertained by it, but at the end of it, you know, they'll wonder, 'Why did this guy write this? What was the point of it?'
I'm not a writer where I feel particularly blessed by great inspiration every day. I don't. I have to work really hard at it to try and say the things I'm concerned with.
I've never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.
In times like these, it is helpful to remember that there have always been times like these.

The study shows that malpractice insurance companies consistently overstate how much they expect to pay in claims and in amounts far beyond the margin of reasonable error. By manipulating their books to misrepresent their 'losses,' the insurers have profited in two ways. First, they have used the inflated numbers to justify rate increases that were unnecessary and excessive. Second, they have invoked their exaggerated loss estimates to promote legislation allowing these insurers to limit how much compensation they have to pay out to victims of medical negligence.
