Vol VI No. 690 - Part 4a



Header

 Not For Profit - For Justice

100% Non Commercial, Fearless, Forthright & Independent 





















































"It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit." -  




Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit
"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." -  Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Conduct of Life: A Philosophical Reading
"And when I speak, I don't speak as a Democrat. Or a Republican. Nor an American. I speak as a victim of America's so-called democracy. You and I have never seen democracy - all we've seen is hypocrisy. When we open our eyes today and look around America, we see America not through the eyes of someone who has enjoyed the fruits of Americanism. We see America through the eyes of someone who has been the victim of Americanism. We don't see any American dream. We've experienced only the American nightmare." -  Malcolm X
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it, 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty. -  Abraham Lincoln, Speeches and Writings, 1832-1858
"We are all hypocrites. We cannot see ourselves or judge ourselves the way we see and judge others." -  José Emilio Pacheco, Battles in the Desert & Other Stories
