If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling then we can have no security: we will live in a world of sham in which our selves are determined by the will of others in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us.

After having so nobly disentangled themselves from the shackles of Parental Authority, by a Clandestine Marriage, they were determined never to forfeit the good opinion they had gained in the World, in so doing, by accepting any proposals of reconciliation that might be offered them by their Fathers – to their farther trial of their noble independence however they never were exposed.

I think the four major leagues ought to set up a joint commission - say, of retired judges - to rule on athletes who are accused of doing bad things away from the game. Then each league would retain its independence in determining what penalties their players should get for infractions committed within the sport.

“When considering all the reasons for missed shots or lost birds, failure to accurately judge the distance to a target is probably the most common. A hunter must be able to determine when a turkey is close enough to make a clean kill. Just like patterning your shotgun prior to the season, you should also practice judging distance.”
