POPSWhat a Lady I'd like to take credit for this clip, but someone sent it to me because it was their favorite quote. Someone who had a lot of great ideas that I'm looking forward to hearing more of in the future. Go for it honey. :)

POPSA writer is a person who cares about words. When I was struggling as a freelance writer, this quote was my mantra. Often when I told people I was a writer, their response was, "What have you written?" Later, when I was conducting memoir writing and personal history, I used the quote again to convince my students they were writers.

POPSYep again! So true...so very damn true! You wonder why our military is stretched too thin...why we need Asia and the Middle East to bail out our banks...why we haven't embraced alternatives to oil like Asia and Europe have...why we haven't caught Bin Laden... Maybe it's because we keep electing people that seem cool to hang out with but aren't capable of leading the world's most powerful nation. How about George Bush and Sarah Palin start a tv show called "politicians that seem fun to hang out with" and we start electing more boring but gifted people as President.

POPSThe Moral Blindness of Nationalism From George Orwell's 1945 essay, Notes on Nationalism . I was inspired to come out of brief clip retirement by the state of the world we find ourselves in and by Ouyangwulong's inspiring comment . (New clippers, also consider this clip , which, like Orwell's quote, is depressingly apropos yet again.)

POPSCommon United States Spiders :eek: (quote)All spiders can and will bite if in danger or accidentally touched e.g. in shoes or clothing etc. Any spider bite can cause a reaction, ranging from a bee or wasp sting type bite to those requiring hospitalisation. Different people react in different ways so it is best to be cautious around all spiders and look but do not handle any spider no matter how it is classified.
