Weekend Musing - August 19th 2006

From Weekend Musing;

• V-8 or tomato juice?
Neither, both are high in Potassium.

• Do you like to add hot sauce to your food? If so, do you have a favorite brand?
No, not really and if I do add hot sauce it is usually Tabasco.

• Jalapenos or Habaneras?
I’ll take Jalapenos over Habaneras

• How many web sites, if any, do you have?
Two, one of them has my name for the domain name and the other is a Geocites site.

• How many blogs do you visit each week?
About fifteen.

• How many memes do you participate in each week?
About three or four a week.

• Why did you start blogging?
On my Geocites web site I couldn’t add comments. I also felt I had something to educate the public about which they knew very little about.

• Do you visit specific blogs because of their content? Or because they're a friend or relative?
Mainly GLBT sites and a few others that have something to say that I am interested in. also sites that memes.

• Questions Swirl Around JonBenet Suspect. Are you following the latest developments in the murder of JonBenet Ramsey? Have you formed an opinion on whether or not the police now have the right person?
Just what is on the evening news and I have not formed an opinion about the case. I don’t know if he did it or if he is just seeking publicity.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.
Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
