Pastoral Resources

I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character.

Politicians fascinate because they constitute such a paradox; they are an elite that accomplishes mediocrity for the public good.

What you will be looking for is a day that closes above the prior day's high and most likely 'breaks' out to the upside to close above a trading range. This is the twitching worm that causes the public to leap before they look.

It is our goal to provide full public access to as many files as we possibly can.

I started this foundation when I was diagnosed. It was established for one reason, and that was to try to find a cure for MS. Every penny, 100% of the public donations that come into this are given back out in the form of grants to colleges and researchers around the world.

If we get the donations, I think we're going to raise a significant amount of money; some will be used for some administered costs, but the public portion of that will go directly into grants.

You see the images that the public is demanding. Why more reality-based TV? You'd think that after the first Survivor it would have gone away, but it hasn't. The public demands it because they get all caught up in the personal stories, and want to see more and more.

There was a time when the FCC tried to require a certain amount of television and media to be educational, a certain amount to be newsworthy and a certain amount of it to be public access.

What the public expects and what is healthy for an individual are two very different things.

I'm in favor of any technology that makes my work available to the reading public at a reasonable price.

The only realistic view is that a human life arises gradually, which is not much help in making personal decisions or devising public policy.

A flourishing, morally credible media is a vital component in the maintenance of genuinely public talk, argument about common good.

Actual human discourse happens within a number of contexts, not in some sort of unified public forum.

A public is a necessary fiction.

One of the most powerful defences the media can offer for controversial actions is, of course, public interest.

Cable would not translate into the public radio universe.

The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.

There is no way the American public will sit still for the banning of or putting any significant restrictions on the kinds of guns they want.

In the long run, the public interest depends on private virtue.

In terms of other functions, we are making a mistake about insisting on a public school monopoly.
