    "...an 'anti-national' is a person who is against his or her own nation and, by inference, is pro some other one. But it isn't necessary to be 'anti-national' to be deeply suspicious of all nationalism, to be anti-nationalism. Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink-wrap people's brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead."

    Part of the beautiful speech "Come September" by Arundhati Roy.

    “What's right and good doesn't come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it -- as if the cause depends on you, because it does.”~ Bill Moyers

    22.NOW AND AGAIN, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountains and hidden valleys to restore your link to the SOURCE OF LIFE. sit comfrotabley and first contemplate and manifest realm of existence. This realm is concerned with eternals, the physical form of things. Then fill your body with ki and sense the manner in which the universe functions~its shape, its color, and its vibrations. Breathe in and let yourself soar to the ends of the universe; breathe out and bring the cosmos back inside. Next, breathe up all the fecundity and vibrancy of the earth. Finally, blend the breath of heaven and the breath of earth with that of your own body, becoming the breath of life itself. As you calm down, naturally let yourself settle in the heart of things. Find your center, and fill yourself with LIGHT and heat...

    "There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you cant take part, you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" - Mario Savio

    well if what you posted was part of their lyrics then there's a good reason to like them. :)

    I don't know too much about metal...I guess the closest would be system of a down.

    Nah, Fear Factory are crap.:p They just sampled a bit of a speech at the start of one of their songs, and I was sad enough to go investigate. Glad you like it.:)

    24.YOUR BREATH is the true link to the universe. Ascending breath spirals upward to the right; descending breath spiirals downward to the left. This interaction is the union of fire and water. It is the cosmic sound of A and UN, OM, Alpha, and Omega.

    25. CONSIDERTHE EBB and flow of the tied. When waves come to strike the shore, they crest and fall, creating a sound. Your breath should follow the same pattern, absorbing the entire universe in your belly with each inhalation. Know that we all have acces to four treasures: the energy of the sun and moon, the breath of heaven, the breath of earth, and the ebb and flow of the tide.

    Thank you for giving GRACE, DEAR Divine God of OUR Universe...xox
