“. . . in America, we have achieved the Orwellian prediction – enslaved, the people have been programmed to love their bondage and are left to clutch only mirage-like images of freedom, its fables and fictions. The new slaves are linked together by vast electronic chains of television that imprison not their bodies but their minds. Their desires are programmed, their tastes manipulated, their values set for them. ” Gerry Spence, From Freedom to Slavery.
“You are born and then you die, but in between you can do anything you want. It’s society that creates rules for us, but you can break out of that.” ~unknown
Legislative influence for sale to the highest bidder…
Come one, come all… you too can own your own congressman. Here’s an idea on what it will cost you:
In 2012, 3.3 billion was spent lobbying congress and federal agencies. In the first 3 months of last year alone, the pharmaceutical industry spent $69.6 million on lobbying, electrical utilities spent $43.3 to try and stop the EPA from regulating the emissions of greenhouse gases, and Monsanto and others from the agricultural services industry spent $12.9 million.
“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.” ~Edmund Burke
“We just urge you to quit being part of the majority who live in confusion and conflict. Join the minority that sees a clear path out of present darkness, that never submits to fear and despair, and that does its part to lead everyone out of crisis into a future full of light.” ~Deepak Chopra
“I am more interested in what I can create than in what I can consume, in what I can share than in what I can own, in living my own life rather than viewing others on TV or the big screen. I think for myself and choose my own heroes. My goal is to be one of them.” ~Dr. Sami Sunchild

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ~Rumi
“True freedom and the end of suffering is living in such a way as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience at this moment.
This inner alignment with Now is the end of suffering. Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no.
If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you as a human being, no humility, no compassion. You would not be reading this now. Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose.
Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.”
~Eckhart Tolle
“Don’t wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel – Stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.” ~ Dara Henderson
