Hagan said he received a master's degree in sociology while incarcerated and that helped him deal with his actions from 45 years ago.
"I understand a lot better the dynamics of movements and what can happen inside movements and conflicts that can come up, but I have deep regrets about my participation in that." He added, "Unfortunately, I didn't have an in-depth understanding of what was really going on myself to let myself be involved in anything like that. ... I can't really describe my remiss and my remorse for my actions -- basically a very young man, a very uneducated man. "
Earth gets one day, alright, the other 364 days we're-we're-we're cranking the AC in our Hummer and then that one day a year, "ooh let's separate the plastic".
You know what I think? I think that once we die out, a couple hundred years, Earth is gonna have a people day, you know, to remember us. One day a year she is gonna laugh and laugh and shake our bones.
Iceland's volcanic dust fiasco is just that - a fiasco. It reminded me however of a documentary I watched 2-3 years ago...It's amazing, the things a brain can store.
What would you do if you had to worry about landmines every time you went to the store, took a drive in the countryside or went to see your doctor?

Autism is a general term used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders known as Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). Today, it is estimated that one in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. However according to "Autism Inspiration":
"Many think that a diagnosis of autism signals a child is doomed to a lonely livelihood devoid of any accomplishments. History has verified this current theory to be false, and many people amongst the higher-functioning forms of the autism-experience went on to do sharp things."
This is worth the watch! Great cast and phenomenal performance let alone a beautiful captivation of an extraordinary human being. It's a fascinating biopic of Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who has become one of top scientists in humane livestock handling.
