Quotes About Appropriate

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I watched helplessly as the Bush administration led America into a strategic blunder of historic proportions.

Our debt to tradition through reading and conversation is so massive, our protest so rare and insignificant-and this commonly on the ground of other reading and hearing-that in large sense, one would say there is no pure originality.

This is the approach of statified design, the notion that a complex system should be structured as a sequence of levels that are described using a sequence of languages.

The language used at each level of a stratified design has primitives, means of combination, and means of abstraction appropriate to that level of detail.

This is a tradition of resistance to the term that's as old as the term itself, especially because that term has been used to commodify and reduce black creativity, and also to appropriate and sell it.

But, this is a Methodist home, so she's in the closet with my gallstones.
