random thought of the moment:
The State which would provide everything, absorbing everything into itself, would ultimately become a mere bureaucracy incapable of guaranteeing the very thing which the suffering person – every person – needs: namely, loving personal concern. We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything, but a State which, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with closeness to those in need.

A few days ago, my random quote was "Everybody is somebody else's weirdo", attributed to Dykstra. One of my readers, the blogmaster over at "the smedley log", asked if this might be one in the same with Lenny Dykstra, retired baseball player and ersatz philosopher. I honestly have no idea. I tried Googling the quote, but found not no other credit than Dykstra - no first name. Can anybody out there shed some light on this?
