I think of myself as a democratic capitalist, although I think the word ‘socialism’ loses its meaning every time that it is used to describe literally any policy left of far right by the current Republicans.
My entertainment was going to the local dollar movie theatre on the weekend, where I watched old black and white movies. If you wanted current movies, you had to drive to the big city.
I love travelling and going on wildlife safaris. I have an interest in astronomy. I like reading on current affairs, business and science. I love doing nothing if I can help it.
Eventually, I believe, current attempts to understand the mind by analogy with man-made computers that can perform superbly some of the same external tasks as conscious beings will be recognized as a gigantic waste of time.
Somebody asked me about the current choice we’re being given in the presidential election. I said, Well, it’s like two of the scariest movies I can imagine.
The current neglect of the problem can only irritate this deplorable state of affairs. The Black Muslims should constitute a warning to our society, a warning that must be heeded if we are to preserve the society.
I don’t have a favorite part. My current part is my favorite part. And when I do the next thing, that will be my favorite part.
I love the ACLU and I’m concerned now, especially when it comes to our rights, with current politics and the religious community and the Conservative majority or minority – I don’t know who they are.
The problem with the standard American diet, a primary cause of our current obesity epidemic, is the fact that the majority of foods consumed are high in calories and low in micronutrients.
We choose the national park idea because it’s really the highest form of protection for landscapes that exists under current law, especially in Chile and Argentina.
The stream of civilisation flows on like a river: it is rapid in mid- current, slow at the sides, and has its backwaters. At best, civilisation advances by spirals.

I don’t think the current regime of South Korea will deal actively with the issue of North Korean defectors.
I enjoyed my 15 years at the top, and now I enjoy watching the current crop. What I did, maybe they can’t do, and what they do, perhaps I couldn’t do. It’s like that. I wanted to simply be the best. On a professional level, I wanted to be No. 1, and I worked hard to be that.
The current medical records system is this: Room after room after room in a hospital filled with paper files.
Gary Johnson’s refusal or inability to name a single foreign leader, current or former, whom he admired, showed that he is not ready for the presidency.
Another thing I learned is that novels, even those from apparently distant times and places, remain current and enlightening, and also comforting.
I have always said that human beings are multidimensional beings. Their happiness comes from many sources, not, as our current economic framework assumes, just from making money.
Everybody in Lynyrd Skynyrd loves different styles of music, and our minds are very open when it comes to writing our songs and making the band true to what the band is, but also stepping out and doing something current.
The most direct evidence of the wonderful plasticity and elasticity of red corpuscles is obtained when they are watched in a current, where they can be caught against a projecting edge and bent by the pressure of the current flowing past them.
With the millions of listeners to ‘Coast to Coast AM,’ I get constant feedback from people who are not happy with the current candidates. Maybe I will run for president in 2012.
I don’t know how much you follow current events. For some, there’s not enough time to keep up on what’s happening; for others, the news is too depressing, and peering too deeply fills one with boiling frustration all too quickly.
Based on assessment of all available information and following several expert consultations, I have decided to raise the current level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 4 to phase 5.
I’m very lucky, because my beat is current events. And events are changing all the time.
I will make the argument that we are poorly adapted to our current environment. I mean, we did not evolve to sit all day and be exposed to giant amounts of really tasty food.
The nations of antiquity rolled away in the current of ages, Israel alone remained one indestructible edifice of gray antiquity… preserved by an internal and marvelous power.
I envisioned an extremely long network of floating barriers – they’re like curtains floating in the ocean which are attached to the seabed. So what happens is that the current comes around and plastic gets pushed towards these barriers. And because it’s in a V-shape, the plastic gets push towards the center.
It’s like being in a trance, like I get this electric current through my fingertips. Sometimes I shake. People say I look like Hendrix when I’m about to rip a solo because I move my shoulders like he does and do the chewing.
If there were an election today, Netanyahu would win. Yet, his standing in the polls is also a reflection of the weakness of Ehud Olmert, the current prime minister – who stands at 2 percent in a recent poll – and the enduring weaknesses of the Labor Party.
Horror does not interest me, and so I know little of its practicioners, old or current.
We firmly oppose the use of violence in the course of current transformations in Arab States, especially against civilians. We are well aware of the fact that the transformation of a society is a complex and generally long process, which rarely goes smoothly.

Editing is really like plumbing a good deal of the time. You put two things together, and a current runs through it.
Of course, the discounting of future earnings should hurt all stocks. But it should hurt technology stocks more than others, because so many of them are valued at extremely high levels relative to their current earnings.
We Americans love original ideas. But truly, there are already plenty of good ones out there, ours for the taking. If I were too proud to copy the ideas of others, I likely wouldn’t have even a fraction of my current success.
I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one’s contributions to computer science.
For almost every novel I’ve written, I’ve read the daily newspaper of the time almost as if it were my current subscription. For ‘Two Moons,’ which was set in 1877, I think I read just about every day of the ‘Washington Evening Star’ for that year. For ‘Henry and Clara,’ I read the ‘Albany Evening Journal’ of the time.
Economists at the National Bureau of Economic Research and University of Chicago persuasively argue that one of the biggest reasons for the nation’s current obesity epidemic is that food is now so much cheaper and easier to prepare.

All comparisons between America’s current place in the world and anything legitimately called an empire in the past reveal ignorance and confusion about any reasonable meaning of the concept empire, especially the comparison with the Roman Empire.
When designing your product, go beyond consumers’ current knowledge base. Design, test, and dig deeper than almost any client would pay you to do.
When Pep Guardiola accepted the Manchester City job, he would have asked himself one question about the club’s current squad: is this a team that can win me the Champions League?
I’ve read a lot of fiction from writers just starting out, and the dialogue is a little bit forced, or it’s almost too teenager-y, or too slang-y or putting too much technology or trends in there. I try to stay pretty trend-neutral. I try not to mention too many current bands or current TV shows.
You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what’s current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.
Embryonic stem cell research is legal in America, and nothing in the administration’s current policy affects that legality; 400 lines are currently being used to conduct embryonic stem cell research, both in the private sector and by the Federal Government.
We love serious technology innovations, and there is a strong bias towards large technology innovations that are sort of disruptive to the current market.
In the current environment, we find it very difficult to defend America, and so we keep our silence. Because, to be very frank with you, how can we defend America?
