More quotes.
"In long-term care, love matters. And the heart of the problem is institutions can't love." --Dr. Bill Thomas, nursing home reformer credited with inventing the Eden Alternative in long-term care. He said this while being interviewed on PBS's Newshour with Jim Lehrer about a new proposal called the Green House initiative that I mentioned in a previous post.
"We have a problem in politics in the United States -- we tend to talk with people who already agree with us." --Kathleen Hall Jamieson, of the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, talking with Bill Moyers on the Bill Moyers Journal. I hope that after the horse race that is Election 2008 is over that whoever becomes the next president of the United States makes some serious effort - however Sisyphean - to reach out to those with radically different personal and political philosophies. This era of hyper-partisanship has gone on way too goddamned long, and it is time for a new era of bipartisanship that lasts 40 years (like the last one) or longer.
Oh yeah, and dada rules! Seriously, if you've never heard any of their songs, you have no idea what you're missing. Take a gander at their website, and have a listen to some of their tracks while you're there. You won't regret it.
