We would like to get to a point in our society where people really are colorblind and this message would not have to be told anymore. Unfortunately we're not there yet.

It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates.

Unfortunately our affluent society has also been an effluent society.

Although I don't have a prescription for what others should do I know I have been very fortunate and feel a responsibility to give back to society in a very significant way.

Unfortunately Climate Science has become Political Science. It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best.

Unfortunately a lot of the concepts in the Bible are based on ancient mythology that doesn't fit the findings of science.

Unfortunately things are different in climate science because the arguments have become heavily politicised. To say that the dogmas are wrong has become politically incorrect.

Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000.

I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

I just play the music that I love with musicians that I respect and fortunately I'm in a position where people are willing to play with me and perhaps I can do something to help them.

Well unfortunately I have always regretted the fact that I have a temper but I also have you know have great love and respect for all of the people that have worked for me. I think like everything else this is one of those things that has been blown out of proportion.

I think the most important foundation about any relationship is just being honest. You've got to. My wife and I are honest to a fault with each other and we're best friends on top of it so we're very fortunate.

And on top of that when we work together we have a wonderful working relationship we push each other we challenge each other we laugh 80% of the time that we are together we're very fortunate.

Politics has become unbelievably and unfortunately way too much about how much money is involved rather than what kind of ideas are involved.

Unfortunately the global warming hysteria as I see it is driven by politics more than by science.

Unfortunately poetry is not born in noise in crowds or on a bus. There have to be four walls and the certainty that the telephone will not ring. That's what writing is all about.

As a privileged survivor of the First World War I hope I may be allowed to interject here a deeply felt tribute to those who were not fortunate enough to succeed but who shared the signal honor of trying to the last to salvage peace.

Unfortunately little attention was paid to how Arafat ruled. In fact some saw the harsh and repressive nature of Arafat's regime as actually bolstering the prospects for peace.

Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace because sports brings everyone together.

It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.

Unfortunately our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.

Unfortunately religion like patriotism is easy to misuse for political purposes.

Unfortunately after Sept. 11 there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.

I think it's a mistake where rap music is these days. It doesn't seem to be able to look out of the ghetto and that's ultimately unfortunate because it defines our limitations.
