No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Today we are in a war against war - music is our power.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to stay human.
Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home.

melo is recovering ...she won't have the pleasure of making it to PTTP, however, you know one day the stars will line up perfectly. Please give Michael my best and express how grateful I am to have become acquainted with such a wonderful group of warriors, here and there.

In order for life to have appeared spontaneously on earth, there first had to be hundreds of millions of protein molecules of the ninth configuration. But given the size of the planet Earth, do you know how long it would have taken for just one of these protein molecules to appear entirely by chance? Roughly ten to the two hundred and forty-third power billions of years. And I find that far, far more fantastic than simply believing in God.

Captain Cutshaw: Can you prove there's a foot?
Colonel Kane: There are some arguments from reason.
Captain Cutshaw: Are those the things we use to justify dropping atomic bombs on Japan?
Captain Cutshaw: Infinite goodness is creating a being you know, in advance, is going to complain.
Captain Cutshaw: The man in the moon tried to fuck my sister!
[Captain Cutshaw stomps in wearing scuba flippers]
Captain Cutshaw: Take me to the beach.
Colonel Kane: It's night, and it's raining.
Captain Cutshaw: I see you're determined to start an argument.
Colonel Kane: You're convinced that God is dead because there's evil in the world.
Captain Cutshaw: Correct.
Colonel Kane: Then why don't you think He's alive because of the goodness in the world?
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.
-- The most secretive, intrusive and repressive government in our history and a president who's a congenital, serial liar.
-- A de facto one party state with two wings and a president claiming "unitary executive" powers ignoring the rule of law and doing as he pleases in the name of national security on his say alone.
-- A secret intelligence establishment with near-limitless funding operating without oversight.
-- A dominant corporate-controlled media serving as a national thought-control police and collective quasi-state ministry of information and propaganda glorifying imperial wars to "spread democracy" without letting on they're for conquest, domination and repression.
-- A weak, servile Congress acceding to a dominant president under a system of authoritarian rule keeping a restive population in line it fears one day no longer will tolerate being denied essential services so the nation's wealth can go for imperial wars and handouts to the rich.
-- A cesspool of corruption stemming from incestuous ties between government and business mocking any notions of government of, for or by the people.

"Death is our eternal companion," don Juan said with a most serious air. "It is always to our left, at an arm's length. It was watching you when you were watching the white falcon; it whispered in your ear and you felt its chill, as you felt it today. It has always been watching you. It always will until the day it taps you."

GOOD NATURE~A cheerful temper, joined with innocence, will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful, and with good-nature. It will lighten sickness, poverty and affliction;; convert ignorance into an amiable simplicity, and render deformity itself agreeable.
