With each day, it's turning more and more to desperation.

Any rancher or landowner out there is still losing a lot of sleep worrying about looking out the window and seeing his or his neighbor's place on fire.

I think it comes down to desperation. I really don't understand some of the efforts we're getting from some of the guys when we're supposed to be trying to make a push to get into the playoffs. It's astonishing.

That if desperate times call for desperate measures, then I'm free to act as desperately as I wish.

Desperation tends to make one sort of flexible.

Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.
