A quote from 'New Internationalist' November issue.
Power cannot tell things as they are. For example, when it says 'terrorism in Iraq', it should ususally say 'national resistance to foreign occupation'.
Eduardo Galeano.

A quote from Krishnamurti;
Without being simple, one cannot be sensitive - to the trees, to the birds, to the mountains, to the wind, to all the things which are going on about us in the world; if one is not simple one cannot be sensitive to the inward intimation of things.

"Do you fear the force of the wind,
The slash of the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf,
Go wade like the crane.
The palms of your hands will thicken,
The skin of your forehead tan--
You'll be ragged and swarthy and weary
But--you'll walk like a man."
-Dan Beard.

Yep. Seems when the people don't hear the truth, they feel better about their new found loyalties to those they fear the most. Themselves.

Hogan said:If it don't fit, force it.
If it breaks, it needed replaced anyway.
That sounds like a true mechanic. Here's what an aeronautical engineer would have as reply: "When a plane crashes, we can trace down exactly which mechanic used a hammer to beat in a pin that didn't fit, damaging the lug, which eventually broke due to metal fatigue, causing several hundred passengers to fall towards their deaths. When something doesn't fit, report!"
And another engineer's quote: "I'm an aeronautical engineer. I have the knowledge to either make you feel completely safe in an airplane, or to make you never dare to step into one ever again."
Both are by me, and I have a whole bag more like these

If they ever come up with a swashbuckling School, I think one of the courses should be Laughing, Then Jumping Off Something.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet.
If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic.
I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
