One of the simplest WAYS to get an idea of one trillion dollars is to CONSIDER the amount in terms of the passage of time. One million SECONDS is EQUAL to roughly eleven days and twelve hours, and one BILLION seconds is thirty-two years. One trillion seconds equals thirty-two thousand years.

If you say, I'm for equal pay, that's a reform. But if you say. I'm a FEMINIST, that's a TRANSFORMATION of SOCIETY.

Filthy does not EQUAL unhealthy, NECESSARILY.

All LIVES have an EQUAL VALUE.

All MEN are EQUAL before FISH.

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the GAP between racism, sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but HOPEFULLY what these games TAUGHT us is that if women are given an OPPORTUNITY on an EQUAL playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

We are all EQUAL, RICH and POOR, and we NEED a SOCIETY where the people enjoy their rights.

You have to be equal at both - great at FOOTBALL and great at dedicating yourself to the academics at Notre DAME. It's HARD. There are no rooty-toot classes for athletes in SOUTH BEND.

One should SEE the world, and see himself as a scale with an EQUAL balance of GOOD and EVIL. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the BAD - he and the world is destroyed.

I travel the world visiting GLOBAL health PROGRAMS as an ambassador for the global health organization, PSI, and sometimes the disconnect I see is TRULY striking: people can GET cold Coca Cola, but far too infrequently malaria drugs; most own mobile PHONES, but don't have equal access to pre-natal care.

As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human RIGHTS for its citizens - allowing our political LEADERS to shamefully ignore these VALUES in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high STANDARD we rightfully set for ourselves.

Led by a NEW generation of edgy sportswriters like Lipsyte, we found new purpose in the GREAT ISSUES of the day - race, equal opportunity, drugs, and labor disputes. We became personality journalists, medical writers, and BUSINESS reporters.
