Indifference pretends to create peace, but it is based on not caring, a silent resignation. it is a movement away, a separation fed by a subtle fear of the heart. we pull back, believing that what happens to others is not our concern. our courage leaves us. indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. it falsifies the past. it falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. it falsifies statistics. it pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. it pretends to respect human rights. it pretends to prosecute no one. it pretends to fear nothing. it pretends to pretend nothing.

First i might say that when a person, when a man separates from his wife, at the out start it's a physical separation but it's not a psychological separation. he still thinks of her in, in probably warm terms. and, but after the physical separation has taken, existed for a period of time, it becomes a psychological separation as well as physical. and he can then look at her more objectively. my split or separation from the black muslim movement at first was only a physical separation, but my heart was still there and it was impossible for me to, for me to look at it objectively.

The cure is care. caring for others is the practice of peace. caring becomes as important as curing. caring produces the cure, not the reverse. caring about nuclear war and its victims is the beginning of a cure for our obsession with war. peace does not comes through strength. quite the opposite: strength comes through peace. the practices of peace strengthen us for every vicissitude. . . . the task is immense!

Diversity means, when the left teaches it, the people responsible for building america and maintaining it get the short end of the stick from now on. with this singular american culture that people came and wanted to be part of, they were proud, couldn't wait to become americans, tears in their eyes when it happened. it was a special place. defending it now, defending that america, defending our cultural, defending our founding, defending all of the things that made this country great is now called racism or xenophobia or hate.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

It is crucial to recognize, reward, and celebrate accomplishments.

We're no longer young men. we've lost any desire to conquer the world. we are refugees. we are fleeing from ourselves. from our lives. we were eighteen years old, and we had just begun to love the world and to love being in it; but we had to shoot at it. the first shell to land went straight for our hearts. we've been cut off from real action, from getting on, from progress. we don't believe in those things any more; we believe in the war.
