freedom

"You cannot put a rope around the neck of an idea; you cannot put an idea up against the barrack-square wall and riddle it with bullets; you cannot confine it in the strongest prison cell your slaves could ever build."
-- Sean O'Casey - "Death of Thomas Ashe" (1918)

Two visions of the world remain locked in dispute. The first believes all men are created equal by a loving God who has blessed us with freedom. Abraham Lincoln spoke for us: "No man," he said, "is good enough to govern another without the other's consent."

The second vision believes that religion is opium for the masses. It believes that eternal principles like truth, liberty, and democracy have no meaning beyond the whim of the state. And Lenin spoke for them: "It is true, that liberty is precious," he said, "so precious that it must be rationed."

Well, I'll take Lincoln's version over Lenin's - and so will citizens of the world if they're given free choice.
-- Ronald Reagan

footnote: I visited the Reagan library / museum in Simi Valley, it's very nice.

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless."
-- Leo Tolstoy - "On Life and Essays on Religion"
Favorites: Being able to live 2 1/2 blocks from the beach, four blocks from the Carlsbad Village, and to work with an ocean view outside the window... And also having everyday being just gorgeous.

I'm a hopeless homer... The Redskins, Capitals, Wizards, Orioles... unless there happens to be a good movie on.

I'm in California now -- Chargers, Padres and the Anahiem Mighty Ducks ??? Sports, the opiate of the people? IT'S MUCH TOO NICE OUT TO WATCH SPORTS!!!

SAABs -- 9-3 Convertable & the non-covertables too

Claude Simon, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute, Aldous Huxley, Krishnamurti

footnote: I also took a tour of the Krishnamurti home in Ojai, California. The place is beautiful and peaceful situated among graceful eucalyptus, cypress, and cedar trees, overlooking the Ojai Valley (famous for apricots).
