If you are self-motivated, wow, this world is tailored for you. The boundaries are all gone.

I know what you're feeling, Cam." Her hands were on my shoulders. Her blue eyes were staring into mine. "I know."

History is full of instances when people have waited in vain for pendulums to swing back.

They're forced, more or less, to shrink their social programs. The very poorest people have fewer and fewer entitlements.
