Hopefully this will change often.

“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.”

-- John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, 1780

TALKING POINTS MEMO

"In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us."

-- Thich Nhat Hanh - Vietnamese monk, activist and writer.

“Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fever, for patriotism is indeed a double edged sword. It emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.”

-- Julius Caesar

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent"

-- Thomas Jefferson

Ratty R. (160)	from Protest to Resistance... It's time to Occupy the Occupiers! It's time to turn up the heat! Funding for the criminal war in Iraq will expire on October 1. The month of September will see the next big struggle over war funding, but this time the antiwar movement needs to be there to demand the immediate cut off of all war funding. CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE...CLICK ON THE PICTURE ABOVE!!!

Marcel S. (326)	IT LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE WE WILL NEED TO MARCH IN THE STREETS IN NON-VOILENT FASHION - AS IN THE 1960'S - TO END THE WAR IN IRAQ AND TO GET RID OF BUSH AND CHENEY. THEY WILL FIGHT BACK, BUT, WE MUST BE OF GOOD COURAGE.
