Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and HATED? This is because in part what they have to say is NEW to the GENERAL public, and the new is always alarming.

I have LIVED LONG ENOUGH to witness the vanishing of wild mammals, BUTTERFLIES, mayflies, songbirds and fish that I once feared my grandchildren would not EXPERIENCE: it has all happened faster than even the pessimists predicted.

I don't FEAR Holmes, but I think he's a good FIGHTER. He has a LOT of PRIDE. But I wouldn't be fighting him if I FEARED him. It's going to be a tough fight. People say with all the hoopla out there, I won't be able to handle it. I believe the pressure's on him. I'm just going to do my thing.

Even institutions of State, such as the JUDICIARY, were seriously weakened, to the extent that the citizenry justifiably FEARED a breakdown in law and ORDER. The business COMMUNITY was hit by a slump in SALES and confidence, leading to reduced earnings and loss of jobs.

Glenn's 1962 Mercury flight was fraught with dramatics, from his 'Zero G and I feel FINE!' exultation upon entering orbit to his reentry with what was feared was a faulty heat SHIELD. After he safely splashed down, the nation erupted with APPLAUSE and GRATITUDE not seen since Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic.

It was our view of the worst that could befall our people if they were TAKEN captive. So, what was FASCINATING to me was that SOMEHOW it appears the techniques that we have feared most in the WORLD WOULD be used on our people, we are using on people in our custody.

There is NEVER MUCH to be feared for ANYONE that is born with sense and truth in him, whatever else he MAY have or want.

We won. The media. We DESTROYED Barry Bonds, drove him crazy, turned the most DISCIPLINED and feared HITTER the game has ever KNOWN into a fence-swinging hack, drained all the excitement out of his 714 HOME runs.

Just as the RUSSIANS and the Soviets didn't MANAGE to wipe out languages in Lithuania, neither have they managed to wipe out RELIGION to the extent that we had feared.

I have FEARED for my life on fishing trips - I was once in a PLANE crash in the Amazon, for EXAMPLE, and I've been trapped in a sinking boat - but not when ACTUALLY handling fish, although I have been INJURED by fish.

Even though my brother and I LOVED scrumping - we loved the act of climbing trees and grabbing FRUIT - there was always fear we would be CAUGHT. We feared we'd be imprisoned, sent to Australia.

I feared the verdict of the watch, where I either lost the RACE against TIME that day or WOULD lose it soon by making the record even HARDER to break. The time trap had snapped SHUT.

Any deviation is LOOKED upon as a PERVERSION, is FEARED, and is usually a TARGET of hatred and PREJUDICE.

They had TAKEN me to an exhibit called 'Psychiatry: Industry of Death' on Hollywood Boulevard, where a Scientologist told me PSYCHIATRISTS SET up the HOLOCAUST. I feared I was being brain-washed. And then I LOST it - big time.

If you've NEVER feared the police - if you don't get a dull ache in the pit of your STOMACH when you see red and blue flashing LIGHTS, even when you know you're not doing anything WRONG - consider yourself lucky.
