Our lives begin and end on the day we become silent about the things
that matter.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the
growth of private power to the point where it becomes stronger than
the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism - ownership
of government by an individual, by a group or any controlling
private power. "
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day we are presenting a video of one
of his speeches, several of his quotes and quotes of other notables who
have preceded us. Their messages are as thought provoking and
germane today as they were when originally delivered.
Please read, reflect upon them, guard your liberties and act upon these
thoughts as your mind and heart direct.
Take Care
Paul

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us
in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervour - with the cry of
grave national emergency. Always, there has been some terrible
evil at home, or some monstrous foreign power that was going to
gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it:
General Douglas MacArthur

When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell
them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to
hate war. War settles nothing...
Dwight David Eisenhower : 34th president of the United States, 1890-1969
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to
all other countries because you were born in it."
-- George Bernard Shaw
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the
voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down
the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a
source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where
everyone lives in fear:
President Harry S Truman
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere
ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Dr. Martin Luther King
War Is A Racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as
something that is not what it seems to the majority of the
people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It
is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense
of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge
fortunes...
Major General Smedley Butler. 1881 - 1940
We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the
hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the
appalling silence of the good people.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
And Finally:
We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same
boat now."
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the
growth of private power to the point where it becomes
