When we really began executions rather than lynchings, black folks were 22% of our population in 1950, for instance, but they were 75% of the executions.

I like to say two things in life that mean the most: genetics and luck. When you look at it realistically, genetics is luck too.

Removing any one feature automatically increases the usability of the remaining ones.

In a way, being a Mormon prepares you to deal with science fiction, because we live simultaneously in two very different cultures. The result is that we all know what it's like to be strangers in a strange land. It's not just a coincidence that there are so many effective Mormon science fiction writers.
