It is as if the word 'because' is entirely absent from the grammar of broadcast journalism. We are presented with a world of 'and's, not 'because's. (Neil Postman, Building a Bridge to the Eighteenth Century)"
ideas[1] = "He will grant thee a hiding place within Him, and once hidden in Him he will hide thy sins. For He is the friend of sinners... He does not merely stand still, open His arms and say, 'Come hither'; no, he stands there and waits, as the father of the lost son waited, rather He does not stand and wait, he goes forth to seek, as the shepherd sought the lost sheep, as the woman sought the lost coin. He goes - yet no, he has gone, but infinitely farther than any shepherd or any woman, He went, in sooth, the infinitely long way from being God to becoming man, and that way He went in search of sinners. (Soren Kierkegaard, Training in Christianity)"

ideas[4] = "I pity the poor immigrant, Who wishes he would've stayed home, Who uses all his power to do evil, But in the end is always left so alone. That man whom with his fingers cheats, And who lies with ev'ry breath, Who passionately hates his life And likewise, fears his death. (Bob Dylan, Hard Rain, 1976)"
