All the civilizations we know have been created and directed by small intellectual aristocracies, never by people in the mass. The power of crowds is only to destroy.

Brand handling synergy means developing and communicating your company's values and identity consistently.

Forget the state concerns -- we think this is bad for churches. Most churches are small and not ready to handle 500 pages of government red tape.

I'm the munter of my friends. I've got wonky teeth and a lazy eye. My friend Rob is disgusted I'm a heart-throb.
