RumiThe stock market crashed in October 1929. But that was not the cause of what caused the Great Depression. It was, in my opinion, a very minor element of it. What happened was that from 1929 to 1933 you had a major contraction which, in my opinion, was caused primarily by the failure of the Federal Reserve System, to follow the course of action for which it was set up. It was set up to prevent exactly what happened from 1929 to 1933. But instead of preventing it, they facilitated it.

Of course that was not their purpose when they accused and convicted me, but they thought they were hurting me, and for this they deserve blame.

A federal ban on funding for these programs wasn't lifted until 2009.

In New York City, the American epicenter, that figure was 50%. The British had introduced widespread needle exchange in 1986. That country had no heterosexual AIDS epidemic.

Nature is horrifying.
Kristin CashoreIts funny because when I did feel like I came out and I just felt like I was being truthful to myself, (it was at) that point I became very successful.

It's like the best song lyric, the best line from a film-everything in the world that's short and great put together.
