In the honor of Martin Luther King day;
"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love."
"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it."
"Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed."
"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. |

Tim Allen had this to say about Martha Stewart: "Boy, I feel safer now that she's behind bars. O.J. Simpson & Kobe Bryant are walking around; Osama Bin Laden too, but they take the one woman in America willing to cook and clean and work in the yard and haul her ass to jail."

I̢۪m drawing the metaphor of the early attempts to fly.
The man going off of a very high cliff in his airplane with the wings flapping and the guy is flapping the wings, and the wind is in his face and this poor fool thinks he̢۪s flying but in fact he̢۪s in free fall and he just doesn̢۪t know it yet because the ground is so far away. But of course the craft is doomed to crash. That̢۪s the way our civilization is. The very high cliff represents the virtually unlimited resources we seemed to have when we began this journey, the craft isn̢۪t flying because it̢۪s not built to the laws of aerodynamics, and it̢۪s subject to the law of gravity. Our civilization is not flying because it̢۪s not built according to the laws of aerodynamics for civilizations that would fly. And of course the ground is still a long way away but some people have seen that ground rushing up sooner than the rest of us have; the visionaries have seen it and have told us its coming. There̢۪s not a single scientific peer reviewed paper published in the last 25 years that would contradict this scenario. Every living system of earth is in decline. Every life support system of earth is in decline and these together constitute the biosphere. The biosphere that supports and nurtures all of life and not just our life, but perhaps 30 million other species that share this planet with us. The typical companies of the 20th century; extracted, wasteful, abusive, linear in all of its processes, taking from the earth, making, wasting, sending its products back to the biosphere and to a landfill. I myself was amazed to learn just how much stuff the earth has to produce through our extraction process to produce a dollar of revenue of our company. When I learned I was flabbergasted. Were leaving a terrible legacy of poisoning and diminishment of the environment for our grandchildren̢۪s grandchildren. Generations not yet born. Some people have called that intergenerational tyranny, a form of taxation without representation levied by us on generations yet to be. It̢۪s the wrong thing to do.

From the first episode of "The Honeymooners":
Alice finds out about Ralph pulling the "heads I win, tails you lose" trick on naive Norton and gives him a withering look. Ralph says:
"Don't look at me like that; I learned that trick from you. That's how we got married." |

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
If he is neither willing nor able, then why call him God?"
