It's difficult in times like these. Ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us...only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery, and death. I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky... I somehow feel that this cruelty too shall end and that peace and tranquility will return once again. -Anne Frank

I thought many years ago when man orbited the moon and viewed Earth Rise that we were going to make it better. We crawled and scraped. Many promising…some dying. Today it seems we’ve made no progress….but I still hold out. One day….just maybe…..we’ll see us all as one.

Humans appear incapable of maintaining peace and tranquility for very long. It does not make the search any less worthy.

Not if the Republicans have any say in the matter, and yes, the USA is close to another Civil War with a dictator leading the way. Jan 06 was just the first shot fired.
