My Hate Speech3	Jun 19 2009 11:54 AM "You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free." -- George Bernard Shaw Thus: If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all. ~Noam Chomsky Have a great week!

My Hate Speech3	Jun 11 2009 10:02 AM "You cannot be free by obeying the rules. You cannot be free by waiting for someone to rescue you. You cannot be free simply by hoping for a brighter day tomorrow. Freedom comes from within. It does not come from without. It does not come from a charismatic leader. It does not come with a set of instructions. It does not come from being raised with doses of discipline and dogma. It does not come from being given your freedom only after you prove yourself to your parents, teachers, pastors, or other authority figures. It does not come from any God who demands obedience before He promises blessings (or threatens curses). It does not come from delineated rights. It does not come from The Constitution. It is you from whom freedom springs. It is you in whom freedom thrives. No one gave it to you. Like Dorothy and her ruby slippers, your way home was with you all the time. You just didn't realize it. Do you understand? You are freedom. Contrary to that tiresome cliché, freedom is free. -- B.R. Merrick. Hope your weekend was grand and your week will be pleasant.
My Hate Speech3	Jun 2 2009 11:26 AM "As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." --William O Douglas Our Weekend was rainy, Hope yours was better!

My Hate Speech3	May 27 2009 12:27 PM "Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their 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 Nikolaevich Tolstoi Have a great week!!!
