There is a split between Muslims who want to practice their faith in peace and tolerance with other religions and other people and these extreme radical fundamentalists who have shown a total lack of tolerance for people with different views starting with people who they don't think are good Muslims and going on to include Christians and Jews.

For more than 200 years materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs.

Bad religion is arrogant self-righteous dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth.

There are a lot of Christian fundamentalists there are a lot of Muslim extremists. Every religion - Mormonism - has something way on the side that's completely using the religion as some weird backbone for their twisted faith. It has nothing to do with their religion.

By concentrating on what is good in people by appealing to their idealism and their sense of justice and by asking them to put their faith in the future socialists put themselves at a severe disadvantage.

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.

I can't say I'm not grateful to have journalists writing about me as a genius. But I know it's not true. I'm not confused. I understand that success comes through a lot of failure and a lot of very embarrassing failure. People want to create the next Facebook but they are too afraid to create the next Facemash.

In the revolt against idealism the ambiguities of the word experience have been perceived with the result that realists have more and more avoided the word.

Mankind is considered (by the radical environmentalists) the lowest and the meanest of all species and is blamed for everything.

Why are ecologists and environmentalists so feared and hated? This is because in part what they have to say is new to the general public and the new is always alarming.

Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description as science writers but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers you see but we're also realists of a sort.

Sometimes the only realists are the dreamers.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

Internet mailing lists are like Fox television shows. They have really cool previews and they get you all excited about them but they just don't live up to their promises.

A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers they take shots. But that's the way society has become especially in pop culture.

Musicians and journalists are the canaries in the coalmine but eventually as computers get more and more powerful it will kill off all middle-class professions.

Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next but at the same time you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

Environmentalists have a very conflicted relationship with their cars.

The best discussion of trouble in boardroom and business office is found in newspapers' own financial pages and speeches by journalists in management jobs.

Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists but let's face it a hamster with Alzheimer's could make those kind of numbers. It's great work if you can get it.

Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

Journalists do not live by words alone although sometimes they have to eat them.
