A Limerick:

An American soldier
From Nantucket
Was issued a broom
And a bucket

In Vietnam
When he saw
The blood and the gore
Checked in his gear
And said: I want

to go home, man; shoot
the police dog
that chewed the hell
out of my kid sister

-Hone Tuwhare

Without going out of your door,
You can know the ways of the world.
Without peeping through your window,
You can see the way of heaven.
The farther you go,
The less you know.
Thus, the Sage knows without travelling,
Sees without looking,
And achieves without ado.

-Lao Tzu, Tao te Ching 47

There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
-Benjamin Franklin

Wherever you go, there you are.
-Buddhist proverb

To understand,
is to open the soul.
To love,
is to open the heart.
To be humble,
is to admit
defeat.

1st in air and water pollution
1st in percentage of poor working parents without insurance
1st in percentage of children without health insurance
1st in executions (average 1 every 2 weeks for Bush's 5 years as Governor!)

READ MY All-false Autobiography!

The more taboos and inhibitions there are in the world,
The poorer the people become.
The sharper the weapons the people possess,
The greater confusion reigns in the realm.

Lao Tzu, Tao te Ching 57

But if it were necessary either to do wrong or to suffer it,
I should choose to suffer, rather than to do wrong.

-attributed to Socrates (by Plato)
