    "I'd like to say that people... people can change anything they want to; and that means everything in the world. Show me any country and there'll be people in it. And it's the people that make the country. People have got to stop pretending they're not on the world.

    People are running about following their own tracks. I am one of them. But we've all gotta stop... just stop following our own little mouse trails. People can do anything; this is something that I'm beginning to learn.

    People are out there doing bad things to each other; it's because they've been dehumanized. It's time to take humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time.

    Greed... it ain't going anywhere; the richest person in the world is the most unhappy one. They should have that on a big billboard in Times Square. Think on that.

    Without people you're nothing." - Joe Strummer

    Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible, and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.

    "The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free..."

    Utah Phillips

    "Protest beyond the law is not a departure from democracy; it is absolutely essential to it"

    Howard Zinn

    The Magic of Childhood

    "The great thing about being a kid is you don't get humiliated if anyone sees you running around with a tree branch, while pretending it's a bazooka.

    The minute you hit 15, people start start giving you queer looks if you so much as make an explosion sound with your mouth, while simultaneously indicating the size of the explosion by slowly moving your arms apart."

    Mr. Biffo

    Come to you across the divide
    looking out a wrinkle in time
    there is nothing less I would do
    than to stand up for truth

    In the cold dark ways
    of this lonely place
    I will warm you, hold you

    *****A gold shield glistens
    and your breath quickens
    I stand close by over you

    *Two hands held strong and sure with
    the power of one
    reach out past the walls
    that can hold you

    **We are guardians and warriors
    come form somewhere to mind
    what creates you and shapes
    the Alchemy of Love

    ***There is a chain of light
    out across the endless skies
    and I see the energy that
    relfects me in your eyes
    and keeps us both alive
    and keeps us both alive

    Evening and the shadows will come
    to destroy what we have done
    but always will the power of love
    shine a light bright as the sun

    ****When the cold dark waves on
    the shores break
    I am around you, found you
    A gold sword fires and night expires
    a long night surrounding you

    “So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”
    François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire

    Saw this in Crazy Breed's sig.

    "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


    there's a great video of this from the documentary 'berkeley in the 60's' which also shows when reagan sent the national guard to a peaceful anti-war protest where they surrounded the students then had helicopters fly over head dropping tear gas on them as the troops and cops started inwards beating everyone in their paths...

    mario savio was pretty passionate about it , it's a shame more ppl aren't that worked up
    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
