I knew in my gut that there was something wrong with a system that couldn't fire its incompetents, and I had my share of incompetent college teachers.

I have decided to follow in my sinful ways, and have largely abandoned the increasingly religious life I was leading over the previous months, including several hours of Talmudic study a day.

One in 150 kids is autistic these days. The autism spectrum is growing.

I'm one of the guys who wants to watch the film completely done, with special effects, sound and music, because I tend to get disappointed if I watch it not fully done.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.

My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.

I loved history, particularly of the British, American and Old Testament kind.
