  • Quote:

    The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent—of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; The wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters.

    Thomas Paine.

  • Quote:

    The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.

    Alice Walker.

  • Article: What Can We Do About Terrorism? by Robert M. Bowman.

    "We are not hated because we practice democracy, freedom, and human rights. We are hated because our government denies these things to people in third world countries whose resources are coveted by our multinational corporations. And that hatred we have sown has come back to haunt us in the form of terrorism — and in the future, nuclear terrorism"

  • Member of the day was Mir, who won a copy of "Threshold: The Crisis of Western Culture" for blogging:

    All Harry Reid can be accused of is being unable to keep up with the changing vocabulary of America. He is still using the words that would not be as offensive in the 1960’s . There is no way anyone can accuse him of being a racist. He is just out of touch!
