It worked. It served it’s function.
Actually, to be technical about it, it was a functional, not a function. Big distinction. Never mind why. It’s works.———— ?
But Why?
What did it imply? Well, something very profound. They didn’t want to believe it at first.
“Where is my Dirac?” — Albert Einstein
That is what it says. Simply, it’s a matter of fact.
It’s on a badge that he has attached to his coat — the coat he wears as he administers to his patients.
Yep. He stands and delivers. He doesn’t “stand idly by”. He works hard, all the while, standing.
“The teenagers started hugging me and saying they had heard that my life was in danger. They explained that they had come to defend me. I had tears in my eyes. These handicapped girls wanted to help me, a big burly man. This is what I feel all the time from those who come to the hospital – the desire to keep loving, to keep giving, even when someone has tried to strip you of all your dignity and values. You cannot abandon people like that.”
No, he takes the stand: do something useful, something tangible, do something helpful.

She attempted to have the book censored or banned in the United States.
No, she wasn’t your socially conservative female.
Yes, in 1962 it was viewed as a scandalous book: Sex and the Single Girl advocated having sex before marriage, and gave advice on how to have an affair.
And she was married.

With the eyes of a child
You must come out and see
That your world’s spinning ’round
— Moody Blues
She wrote it in plain and clear language, so, even a child understand.
However, I doubt many adults could understand it, even now: most adults are too stupid to understand.
No, not ignorant, just stupid. Adults: too naturally not interested, too busy, too lazy, too “know it all,” too impatient to really see — and to learn.
Danger lies not in what we don’t know,
but in what we think we know that just ain’t so

Ben Affleck may direct a Justice League of America film as he has reportedly been sent a script by Warner Bros.: “Affleck is the only candidate who’s been sent Will Beall’s Justice League script.” The Bostonian actor/writer/producer/director has recently only directed movies that he also stars in. Leading some to believe that he might even don some superhero tights if he takes the project on. Sources add that the JLA movie would be slated for summer 2015, meaning it would go toe-to-toe against it’s direct competitor The Avengers 2. Speaking of The Avengers 2: Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct the film, as well as an Avenger’s TV show of some kind for ABC. Though Affleck’s camp is trying to downplay the news story; Warner Bros. does well for itself to put the idea out there that a JLA film is indeed happening and all they need now is a Director. Why does Warner Bros. want a JLA film so badly? Why. Because anyone who’s anyone has their own well-balanced Super-Squad. Super-Squad, you ask? Let’s take a look.
People are different in fundamental ways. They want different things ; they have different motives, purposes, aims, values, needs, drives, impulses, urges. Nothing is more fundamental than that. They believe differently, they think, cognize, conceptualize, perceive, understand, comprehend, and cogitate differently. And of course, manners of acting and emoting, governed as they are by wants and beliefs, follow suit and differ radically among people.

Most of us struggle to find what we do best: natural talent and circumstance is not aligned.
But on this rare occasion, he could hear it, clearly — from the beginning.
There is geometry in the humming of the strings,
there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

“I am sorry, I am trying to take the youngest first, I want to save a nation.”
He failed to save a nation. But he did save thousands, ten thousands, maybe even up to one hundred thousand.
“He was the most tireless, persistent, stubborn person — he was single minded in his determination for his mission.”
As the summer of the movie nerd draws to a close, one wonders what in the world I’m going to start talking about. Just kidding. There’s still SOME snippets of news however as: The Hobbit is now a trilogy, The Wolverine is shooting in Australia, Skyfall has a new trailer, and these lesser known Marvel projects have been green lit. Speaking of marvel projects:
Simon Kinberg, who is co-writing X-Men: First Class 2 with director Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, spoke about the hotly anticipated mutant sequel at Comic-Con last weekend. Unsurprisingly, he’s not allowed to give any details about the plot, but he did say that the film is “extraordinarily ambitious” and “unlike the other X-Men movies and yet very much a celebration of the X-Men movies.”
Sources say Vaughn has mentioned the idea of Magneto’s magnetism being correlated with a fictional rendition of JFK’s infamous “magic bullet” assassination. Which would make sense. Because Magneto controls metal. Get it? Noobs. The film’s story will focus primarily on the Days Of Future Past plot-line, depicting a dystopian alternative future in which mutants are incarcerated in internment camps. As the political conflict between humans and mutants escalates, former friends Magneto and Professor X realize that they posses two different and opposing fundamental perspectives. Which ones? You ask? Let’s take a look.
Meet my father from one of his students view.
It was really an impossible task for anybody. Especially for Jack.
Except for him.
There he was in the small room — secret service keeping him there, he, not knowing what was happening.
Jack had essentially had cut him off from power for three years.
Powerless. A Fox on a Leash.
The first Vice President, had described it as “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.”
But then one of Kennedy’s aides, came to him in that small hospital room, and said with some solemnity — “Mr President..”
