I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

- George McGovern

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?

- Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Allow the President to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so, whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose — and you allow him to make war at pleasure. If today, he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada, to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him? You may say to him, ‘I see no probability of the British invading us’ but he will say to you, ‘Be silent; I see it, if you don’t.’”

- Abraham Lincoln-First Republican President in the United States

What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to Jah. The process of what that struggle becomes, in time, the Truth.”-Robert Nesta Marley

When you have stopped the deluded activity of consciousness, then, whatever situation you may find yourself in, you enjoy perfect freedom, in adversity and prosperity, in taking and giving. Not tell me, how in fact will this sort of person behave?

A monk asked Ummon, “What is the teaching of the Buddah’s lifetime?”
Ummon said, “Preaching facing oneness.”

Zen masters deliver their sermons facing the image of the Buddha. However, the meaning of this koan is broader: oneness is absolute truth. To face oneness means to face every thing—-yourself, the world, every being, and every thing—-in its absolute truth.

I wrote a song on the back of a fucking AM/PM receipt, and now 60,000 people are singing it. I honestly felt like the luckiest guy in the world.”

Dave Grohl, the 3rd wheel and most un-appreciated part of Nirvana, talks about his recent success and his beginngs of the Foo Fighters, and upcoming things for fans of the Foo to look forward too, like a track with John Paul Jones, bass player and the arranger for most of Led Zepplin’s music, “We tracked him down, and I got on the phone with him. There’s a song on the acoustic record that needed Mellotron, and he’s the king. So I explained that to him — I tried not to gush and seem like a cheap whore. We talked for about forty-five minutes, and I hung up the phone and thought, “Holy shit. I can’t believe it!” I grew up worshipping Zeppelin like they were church. A couple of weeks later, he strolled in. He brought his mandolin.”. Grohl also provide’s a unique perspective into the life of Kurt Cobain, from the perspective of a drummer who never felt like he was a part of the band, regardless of his contributions. He also sheds some insight onto the habit’s and ego of the late Kurt Cobain. However, Dave Grohl remains humble amidst all of his success and his new album should be a quality one. “The Colour and the Shape” is one of the 90′s best Album’s and Dave Grohl will keep making hit’s if there is an audience. After releasing his new Album “In Your Honor” he had this to say, “There are some moments where you just feel so proud. Like being nominated for a Grammy for an album you made in your basement in Virginia with some friends over a keg. Going to the ceremony and seeing diamonds and money and limos and fucking icons of the industry, and walking away with Best Rock Album that you made for free in your basement. How much cooler does it get? I never thought that this band could be the biggest band in the world, but to see progression and growth, I feel like a proud parent. To fucking see your child grow up right, rather than becoming a crack whore, it’s pretty great.” That is a refreshing tone.

The happiness of the people, over the happiness of yourself. This is the attitude that is lacking in our country today. If our leaders would rather make themselves happy, or their families happy, then the people are neglected. The people have the power but they have to make their voices heard through participation in government, or refusal to participate in government that does not put the people first. Politicians are paid by us, and they work for us, and they should bend over backwards to help us, the people, not the highest bidder. We must take responsibilty for our lack of effort, the American public in general does not participate in government affairs but they love to criticize it. Thought, speech, or action. People love to talk and think, but what do they do about their complaints? We need to hold our politicians accountable for their responsibilities to their masters, the honest, hard working American’s who have values. Honor and service is not dead in government, it is just hiding really well but I am sure it can be coaxed out of it’s hiding place. The future of our country depends on the people who live here and work here, not the people who have money now, money comes and goes, but the people who live here and want to live here will always be here, and we need to be catered to.
