I definitely feel like my blog is going edgy to broad and boring.

I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.

Liberty, freedom and democracy are very fuzzy words, but human rights is very specific.

The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship.

I have had a great deal of interaction with Koreans and feel a fairly strong bond with Korea.

It would be easy to define terrorism as attacks against human rights and international humanitarian law forbids attacks against innocent non-combatants which is often the definition used for terrorism.

We discussed the history of postwar Japan and how Japan had missed an opportunity to build a more functional democracy because of the focus on fighting communism driven in large part by the American occupation.

I definitely feel like my blog is going edgy to broad and boring.

I just believe that the cost of marketing is going to increase and the cost of delivery is going to decrease as the Net gets stronger and mass media gets weaker.

For some reason, I grew up generally believing that Japan and Korea were quite friendly. I do know that there is some bad history and the extremists on both sides are unreasonable.

But my question is, am I compromising by adapting my words for the audience and where is the line beyond which I am not adapting words, but changing my position?

Internet penetration in Italy is quite low and the Berlusconi media machine controls most of what people see.

Now that our media companies and it appears are policies are traded for cash, what is there to check the continuing consolidation of power and diminishing of democracy?

Most creative work is a process of people passing ideas and inspirations from the past into the future and adding their own creativity along the way.

We talked about the Internet and Wikipedia and how facts and history are being collectively created online.

I talked about the barriers created by monopolies. I said that it was the role of government to break up these monopolies and that we couldn't do it alone.

I have always viewed my role as a sort of ambassador or bridge between groups to help provide a dialog.

Money creates a power relationship between the payer and the payee.

When there is a huge force pressing down on freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to form.

I noticed that democracy was broken and tried to work on fixing that in Japan. Then I realized that it was broken all over the place and decided to work on that too.

The most important thing I learned in school was how to touch type.

The idea of trying to fight against extremism was written off as naive.

If we destroy human rights and rule of law in the response to terrorism, they have won.

Upholding human rights is not merely compatible with fighting terrorism, it is essential.

In a world where discovery is more important than delivery, it's the people who find, remix and direct attention to old stuff that should be rewarded, not the people who deliver it or sit on it waiting for someone to show up.

Google is in an amazing position to be the target of tons of lawsuits that will set precedent for many important things for us on the Internet.

We have a long way to go before we are able to hear the voices of everyone on earth, but I believe that providing voices and building bridges is essential for the World Peace we all wish for.

There was a very convincing argument made that the extremists have won and the aggression is now supported by the majority, therefore fighting until surrender was the only alternative.

My mother, whose family was heavily rabbinic, said she wanted me to continue the family tradition in the rabbinate. My father said he wanted me to be a scholar of the Talmud, but he wanted me to make my living in science.

Joint-stock companies are yet in their infancy, and incorporated capital, instead of being a thing which can be overturned, is a thing which is becoming more and more indispensable.

Little changes can start to make a difference in the world.

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks dont.

You'll find as you grow older that you weren't born such a great while ago after all. The time shortens up.

If tomorrow all of America were to become paternalistic, we would beat the Japanese every day of the week. I think that the concept of accusing someone of running a paternalistic company, that's not an accusation. One should compliment someone on that.

Everywhere, people are beginning to question masculine notions of control, aggression and black-and-white thinking - and instead are favoring more empathetic, nurturing and collaborative approaches.

I've become a representative of the American Diabetes Association, and then I just became national spokesman for the American Heart Association for a campaign called The Heart of Diabetes, which brings the awareness of cardio-vascular disease to diabetics.

Be grateful in spite of your suffering.

I don't believe there's two sides to every story. It's black and white. There's right and wrong.

My dad is not a sports guy but was drawn to the theatrics of wrestling.

I have a very clear vision as to what I want at the end of my prep, and then I throw it out and let the creative process take over.

I wasn't supposed to be walking with Mark Zuckerberg. I wasn't supposed to be interviewing Romney's sons. Why was I doing it? Because I wanted to survive. I wanted to live. I wanted to earn what it means to be an American.

I was telling the truth. I feel like we got that point across.

I existed in a world that never is - the prison of the mind.

I don't have to be what nobody else wants me to be and I am not afraid to be what I want to be.

I don't want to sound trite, but 'Star Wars' really, really impacted me.

I was never a good journalist, because I would make things up. A lot of people frowned on that, which is why I ended up in fiction.

The camera is as subjective as we are.

I'm going to show up and do my job to the best of my abilities every day, every week.

I'm always nervous taking on a period role because it's difficult to research - you can't observe it, go out and see it. But it's satisfying because eventually you think, 'I got there.'
