This is true !

"Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip." - Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)

“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.” – Chinese Proverb

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." - Oscar Wilde

"The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well." - Joe Ancis

"A mind stretched by a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions."
"One cannot live well, love well, or sleep well, if one has not dined well”. Virginia Woolf

" The great tragedy of Science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact. "

Watch the incredible Story of Stuff - Think - Act.
And then consider this, Money as Debt.
In the meantime, old George Orwell rolls in his Grave.
The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America
ZEITGEIST, The Movie (some reviews)

A panel discussion with economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes regarding their new book, "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict."

"...banking institutions are more dangerous
to our liberties than standing armies..."
Thomas Jefferson

*****************************
Arundhati Roy- a video of Hope - Quotes

"It's not a real choice. It's an apparent choice. Like choosing a brand of detergent. Whether you buy Ivory Snow or Tide, they're both owned by Proctor & Gamble. This doesn't mean that one takes a position that is without nuance, that [...] the Democrats and Republicans are the same. Of course, they're not. Neither are Tide and Ivory Snow. Tide has oxy-boosting and Ivory Snow is a gentle cleanser."
(On the American election, 2004 from her speech in San Francisco, California on August 16th, 2004)

It's Asparagus Time
I love asparagus, but I notice it makes the urine smell funny. What's going on?
