I'm not a sports dude, but I'm interested in the sociological implications of it.

I remember when Martin Luther King was assassinated and riots broke out in the city. We celebrated Palm Sunday on 14th Street. I have a memory of walking down the street with buildings smoldering, and soldiers and cops everywhere. Anyways, it [St. Stephen’s] was a church that really taught me the things I needed to learn to not go to church. But I think it is a church that does great work, I went to a wedding there three days ago.

I actually looked up in my journal trying to figure out some dates and, in January 1991, America is about to go back into its first sort of actual war since Vietnam, with the Gulf War. It just seemed unbelievable at the time that this country would do that - which is funny to think about now.

The archiving industry, much like the funeral industry and the wedding industry, these industries can be very exploitative.

An unlocked door means that, occasionally, you might get a devil come in, but a locked door means you have thousands of angels just walk by.

I don't watch TV but occasionally I'll read the Washington Post. I will say that sports are the only "real thing" on television.

Structures can be manipulated for ill as well, especially when people are dealing with issues of power, or control, or violence.
