    If you think more like Ralph Nader than you think like Al Gore, you are doing yourself a disservice by not expressing yourself in the one moment the democracy gives you to be recorded. To not express yourself accurately makes you a politician not a voter.
    - Lawrence O'Donnell

    4.THIS IS HOW the universe came into being. There was no heaven, no earth, no universe--just empy space. In this vast emptiness, a single point suddenly maninfested itself. From that point, steam, smoke,and mist spiraled forth in a luminous sphere and the sacred sound SU was born. As SU expanded circularly up and down, left and right, nature and breath began, clear and uncontaminated. Breath developed life, and sound appeared. SU is the Word mentioned in many world religions...

    “The accomplice to the crime of corruption is frequently our own indifference” ~ Bess Myerson


    "each candidate behaved well in the hope of being judged worthy of election. However, this system was disastrous when the city had become corrupt. For then it was not the most virtuous but the most powerful who stood for election, and the weak, even if virtuous, were too frightened to run for office.” ~ Niccolo Machiavelli


    “Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today” ~ Gandhi



    “Money and Corruption are ruining the land, crooked politicians betray the working man, pocketing the profits and treating us like sheep, and we're tired of hearing promises that we know they'll never keep” ~ Ray Davies

    "American soldiers make do with C-rations. Dinner on an America West flight from New York to Las Vegas consists of one small bag of peanuts. Meanwhile, one recent menu for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo consisted of orange-glazed chicken, fresh fruit crepe, steamed peas and mushrooms, and rice pilaf. Sounds like the sort of thing you'd get at Windows on the World — if it still existed".

    “Manipulators rarely advise you to seek new and diverse information or to ‘learn and research for yourself,’ it tends to be safer for exploitative and irresponsible leaders to keep their citizens in the dark; in their view less independent thought is better. Independent thought leads to an inquiring mind, a mindset that eventually leads to the questioning of authority figures, and that is the one thing that inadequate leaders do not want. When a leader discourages questioning of his/her leadership style, actions, and motivations, that is a sign that they have something to hide, that they may not be worthy of the public’s trust. A responsive leader welcomes and encourages questions from the citizens that have entrusted them with their safety, economic stability, and their confidence that a certain level of civility in society will be constant. Responsive leaders would be appalled, disappointed and disgusted if the public did not question such factors. Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again.”
    ~ Teresa Stover
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    ALL SOUNDS AND VIBRATIONS emanate from the Word. Your voice is a very powerful weapon. When you are in tune with the cosmic breath of HEAVEN and EARTH, your voice produces true sounds. Unify body, mind and speech, and real techniques will emerge...
