In the struggle of Good against Evil, it's always the people who get killed.: Eduardo Galeano =
"It's not enough to have lived. We should be determined to live for something. May I suggest that it be creating joy for others, sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind, bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.": Leo Buscaglia, author and university professor (1924-1998) =
Another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble. Every action of the enemy is judged by one standard - every action of oneself by another. Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals, which they serve.: Eric Fromm

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21167.htm My official prediction is that Obama won't change anything as far as the corporate state's agenda is concerned. The Obama cultists are apparently smoking the same crack that Bush supporters have been for the last 8 or so years. Politicians are whores for the system, period. The system's life blood is money and lotsa big corporate bucks call the shots. --L.B. |
