That's The Oscars For Ya - You

One Of My First Role Models Was Eugene Lang, A Wealthy Businessman Who Went Back To His Elementary School In East Harlem And Addressed The Sixth-grade Class. He Looked Out At That Sea Of Faces And Said, "if Any Of You Wants To Go To College, I Will Pay For It." When I Read That, I Burst Into Tears. It Was So Generous And So Basic. Not Fluffy. I Can't Understand Why We Scrimp On Education And Shortchange Our Kids. Why Would The Citizenry Do That To The People Who Are Going To Inherit Its Republic?

Group Conformity Scares The Pants Off Me Because It's So Often A Prelude To Cruelty Towards Anyone Who Doesn't Want To - Or Can't - Join The Big Parade.

It's The Heart Afraid Of Breaking That Never Learns To Dance. It Is The Dream Afraid Of Waking That Never Takes The Chance.

It's The Point Of Your View That Decides What You See - / One Man's Flop Is Another Man's Hit. / From Manners To Movies, The Picture Keeps Changing / Depending Upon Where You Sit.

Thank God For The Gays. I Don't Know What Would Have Happened But I Know What Did Happen. Good For Them And Good For Me.
