Democratic candidate drops out of governor’s race Monday

By Associated Press and Alexandra R. Moses · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 12:01 a.m.

State Senate Minority Leader Richard Young, the first Democrat to join the 2008 race for governor, dropped out on Monday.

The fluid present

When I hear most people talk about dreams or ambitions, they talk about their plans for the future. As I was talking to one of these individuals recently, I had an epiphany: There is no such thing as the future. Well, at least not the kind most people envision.
