“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society”

- Jiddu Krishnamurti

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Margaret Mead (December 16, 1901 – November 15, 1978)

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate…”

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Fuck wealth, fuck class, fuck hierarchy, fuck ownership, fuck rent, fuck war, fuck hunger, fuck homelessness, fuck oppression, fuck disproportion, fuck labels, fuck bigotry, fuck racism, fuck government, fuck “normality”, fuck hate. If you disagree, fuck you. Humanity can be so much more. #thinkoutsidethebox, evolve, grow, change, love… every day.”

- Me and every other enlightened, logical, rational, hopeful, progressive, humanitarian out there. This is a bandwagon I encourage you to jump on! Some wagon rides are fun and good for everyone ;)

This is incredible! We can still institute change by working together and showing how important community issues are. So glad about this but make no mistake, this will only be the first battle in a long series of many more to come.

“He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress”

- Anwar Sadat (25 December 1918 – 6 October 1981)
Third President of Egypt serving from 15 October 1970 until his assassination by fundamentalist army officers on 6 October 1981. Won the 1978 Nobel Prize for the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty.

&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry your belief in fairy tales, myths, and fables has corrupted your reasoning. Yes, I&#8217;m talking about your use of the Bible to justify your bigotry. The Bible was not written by God; it was written by men to frighten and control the uneducated population to conform to their way of thinking. Those who do not support equality for all people should find themselves on the other side of their intolerance to see firsthand what it&#8217;s like to be excluded.&#8221;

Boy do I wish he were here right now&#8230; and the millions of Americans that actually rallied behind good ideas in times of desperation mind you, instead of the intellectually challenged ones we seem to have today. You can be a &#8220;simple person with simple thoughts and simple focus&#8221; but don&#8217;t be a completely brainwashed puppet. Have a little dignity eh?P.S. Fascism isn&#8217;t just a buzzword, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s leading your country. Accept it, deal with it, and let&#8217;s all move towards a Utopian society. At least employ more egalitarian principles. At the end of the day, too many of your countrymen are suffering and there is NO EXCUSE for it. None. Wealthiest country on the planet yet over half are struggling just to get by. This is bullshit plain and simple and any other viewpoint is the same in my not-so-humble opinion. Throw a brain in that thick skull of yours and see what we&#8217;re trying to beat into it =)
