Charlie Crystle for Senate

October 11, 2003
Weekend Journal: DuBois

We started early yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce in DuBois, attending a breakfast featuring the local county commissioner candidates. One of them pointed to NAFTA as the cause of the poor business climate in the areas, where unemployment is at a painful 10%. Someone noted aloud how negative he was, and asked if he had anything positive to say. I jumped in on our way out the door saying he was right—NAFTA, China, Free Trade are hurting us, but there IS something we all can do. We all have voices and should use them to pressure Harrisburg to stand up for them in Washington. It’s time Harrisburg gets together and makes the case for Fair Trade on behalf of this state! We’re losing over 200 manufacturing jobs a day because of greed and stupid policies of the Free Traders.

Next, we visited the high school, where we met with a few classes of great students who are very concerned about paying for college. I told them about my idea for Debt Relief for Students, where a 5-year commitment to public service (working on a definition) earns you a free tuition. I think if we add a GPA requirement to it then we’ve got a great program that provides both an incentive for kids to go into public service and to commit to studying hard. Anyway, they asked great questions and were very warm. And ALL of them are registered to vote!

We spent the day visiting manufacturers in the area, most of which are hurting. One, however, is doing great, and it’s headed by a Republican with a big heart and a deep commitment to his community. When the music department was pretty much cut out of the budget, he bought instruments for the kids with his own money. The school board wasn’t terribly responsive and a bit rude to him, so he did what any good American would—he decided to replace them and is now running for school board. Denny, you have my endorsement!

Later that evening, we were blessed with a terrific reception from a great group of people brought together by the O’Donnells. I heard the same thing as I made my way across the room—we need to do something about the economy, Arlen Specter should not be forgiven for what he did to Anita Hill, and Bush has to go. Amen!

Later today we're heading to Oil City. Tomorrow we head to Washington County to meet the folks down there. The change of seasons is so beautiful in Pennsylvania. We're enjoying seeing the state as we meander through the back roads in the van, meeting so many of you along the way.

Since each person, as an individual, is the not-being of the other, it is never possible to eliminate non-understanding completely.

The reason that no computer program can ever be a mind is simply that a computer program is only syntactical, and minds are more than syntactical. Minds are semantical, in the sense that they have more than a formal structure, they have a content.

Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn`t all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. You fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity.

I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.

A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one`s husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

Posted by: big penis at November 14, 2004 12:35 AM

Is love supposed to last throughout all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. If I loved her, how could I leave her? If I felt that way then, how come I don`t feel anything now?

Posted by: penis enlargement pills at November 13, 2004 10:52 PM

Honesty is the only way with anyone, when you`ll be so close as to be living inside each other`s skins.

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

You can`t love anyone until you understand that you can`t love everyone.

Love isn`t a decision. It`s a feeling. If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simplier, but much less magical.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men.

Men are deceived if they think themselves free, an opinion which consists only in this, that they are conscious of their actions and ignorant of the causes by which they are determined.

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savages whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The fundamental sense of freedom is freedom from chains, from imprisonment, from enslavement by others. The rest is extension of this sense, or else metaphor.

By recognizing a favorable opinion of yourself, and taking pleasure in it, you in a measure give yourself and your peace of mind into the keeping of another, of whose attitude you can never be certain.

A woman does not want the truth; what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty.
