 In which democratic country does the government, on the eve of an election, rewrite the rules?

 The numbers did not justify a wholesale rewrite of the rules. What really needed to be done was a simple fix.

 I make an index of my notes and then get to the writing as soon as I can. I do a rough draft, and then I rewrite and rewrite.

 This administration is seen as being very pro-investment, whereas Kerry is seen as wanting to rewrite the rules -- on capital gains, tax cuts on the wealthy, certain business regulations. I think, for market psychology, that would be damaging.

 The word ''civilization'' to my mind is coupled with death. When I use the word, I see civilization as a crippling, thwarting thing, a stultifying thing. For me it was always so. I don't believe in the golden ages, you see... civilization is the arteriosclerosis of culture.
  Henry Miller

Part of any civilization is its religious beliefs, and so part of Judaism is the religion of the Jew, but they are not the same thing. We're looking at the ways in which a person who is Jewish by birth, civilization, culture, context and family may look at things differently from the way a person who is Catholic and lives down the road may see them.

 Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.
