Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war.

It disturbs me no more to find men base unjust or selfish than to see apes mischievous wolves savage or the vulture ravenous.

It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.

That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.
