As a FORMER public high school teacher, I will support WHATEVER is in the best interest of TEXAS education only after careful EVALUATION of the Permanent School Fund.

Reading is a form of PRAYER, a guided meditation that briefly makes us believe we're someone ELSE, disrupting the delusion that we're permanent and at the CENTER of the universe. Suddenly (we're saved!) other PEOPLE are real again, and we're fond of them.

A split between the U.S. and its TRADITIONAL allies, if it becomes a permanent feature of the new global order, would lead to deeper fragmentation AMONG the WORLD's market-oriented democracies.

In a DEMOCRACY, POWER is not PERMANENT.

There is no such THING as a PERMANENT ADVERTISING SUCCESS.

A pleasant VOICE, which has to include CLEAR enunciation, is not only attractive to those who hear it... its APPEAL is PERMANENT.

I've always liked the idea of MAKING things that last forever, not necessarily in the sense of being unbreakable, but more psychologically permanent. Most people THROW stuff AWAY not because it's BROKEN but because their relationship with that object is broken.

Mourning is not forgetting... It is an undoing. Every MINUTE tie has to be untied and SOMETHING PERMANENT and VALUABLE recovered and assimilated from the DUST.

The WORLD is still changing. Faster than ever. And so should the REPUBLICAN PARTY. Or condemn itself to a smaller and smaller base of core SUPPORTERS and permanent minority status.

I went through my entire athletic life as a basketball player with only MINIMAL physical SETBACKS, the worst being a couple of brain concussions, one in a COLLEGE game in 1948, the other in 1954 while PLAYING in the Eastern League, from which I recovered without PERMANENT damage.
