Peace Train
I 'woke up late' to what is really goin' on underneath all the flag wavin' and anthem singin' and shushin' my mouth. I'm an average person of average age and average size and average intellect, so if I'm wakin' up, how many other average people are wakin' up too? America is a Sleeping Giant. WAKE UP! Quit hittin' the snooze bar, G'dammit! GET UP!
"...it's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it."-- George Carlin
"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."-- Martin Luther King Jr.
I'm bangin' pots n' pans, Molly!
"We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we’re for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush’s proposed surge. If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, “Stop it, now!”
-- Molly Ivins
"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."--Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
