I’m often on my Blackberry worried about three things I have to do the next day, [but] I never feel more in the present than when I’m scared in a horror film… And I think that is a very addictive feeling. - http://nbr.tumblr.com/post...

"I want to make sure it's clear that I haven't taken a position on the issue here, merely stated that you haven't yet adequately defended yours. Can you make a little more explicit the connection you're drawing between Jews and Blacks and the current discussion? I don't see it.
