I think people feel threatened by homosexuality. The problem isn't about gay people, the problem is about the attitude towards gay people. People think that all gays are Hannibal Lecters. But gay people are sons and daughters, politicians and doctors, American heroes and daughters of American heroes.

The main village, which includes the Railroad station, is built around a village green or informal park. In the park will be benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees, and shrubs. It will be a place for people to sit and rest; mothers and grandmothers can watch over small children at play. I want it to be very relaxing, cool, and inviting. Around the park will be built the town. At one end will be the Railroad Station; at the other end, the Town Hall. The Hall will be built to represent a Town Hall, but actually we will use it as our administration building. It will be the headquarters of the entire project. Adjoining the Town hall will be the Fire and Police Stations. The Fire Station will contain practical fire apparatus, scaled down. The police station will also be put to practical use. Here the visitors will report all violations, lost articles, lost kids, etc. In it we could have a little jail where the kids could look in. We might even have characters in it.

Walt Disney, from a memo describ

Humor must not professedly teach, and it must not professedly preach, but it must do both if it would live forever. By forever, I mean thirty years.

Mark Twain

I was not born to be free---I was born to adore and obey.

C.S. Lewis

Remember to never split an infinitive.The passive voice should never be used.Do not put statements in the negative form.Verbs have to agree with their subjects.Proofread carefully to see if you words out.If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be by rereading and editing.A writer must not shift your point of view.And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.)Don't overuse exclamation marks!!Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors.Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.Always pick on the correct idiom.The adverb always follows the verb.Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.

William Safire, William Safire's

The foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice so mean and low that every person of sense and character detests and despises it.
