I'm pessimistic. I don't think that justice always gets the right person.

I don't want to pass through life like a smooth plane ride.

I think in rural settings, people have a different appreciation for animals than might the city dweller. In parts of India where poisonous snake bite is common, people have a much different value system. I live in a city. I'm not thinking about wolves, lions, etc.

There's nothing new about the government protecting corporations and calling it the freeing of the world or bringing democracy to bereft nations.

Music, to me, is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
