Lysa TerKeurstRace is a lie built on a lie. The first lie is that people are different, somehow skin color or hair texture is more significant than eye color, or the shape of one's feet.

I think that's one of our unused or untapped values.

They ain't trying to do nothing. everything they hear is on the mark, but they've played it so many times... I've built a whole career out of making mistakes!

I saw people kneeling on the streets for her. Which they did for me in Japan. That was really embarrassing.

Carl JungIf we canโt puncture some of the mythology around austerity, politics or tax cuts or the mythology thatโs been built up around the Reagan revolution, where somehow people genuinely think that he slashed government and slashed the deficit and that the recovery was because of all these massive tax cuts, as opposed to a shift in interest-rate policy - if we canโt describe that effectively, then weโre doomed to keep on making more and more mistakes.
