From my Black Planet Page........
(da_tephlon_don@blackplanet.com)
A writer by disposition as I would rather participate in the shaping of a better world than participate in its current unflinchingly destructive course, I write in a humble attempt to show that there may be other more effective paths for us if we are first able to concede the possibility that we might be on the WRONG path.....I suspect that some reading would assume I am referring to Black folks (This IS Black Planet)but I infact speak to all humanity, strange how our problems as a collective directly correlate to the problems of individualy defined groups....
I am interested in all types of ideas, people, places, things etc. so holla @ me w/ any of that.
Not looking for love, as that chapter has closed for me, but still loving the way you ladies look as the book never ends.....;-)
Anything you wanna know just ask..
The rest are quotes that have inspired me, as well as a little comic releif..Enjoy!
"If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of [Censored]."
-Robert Anton Wilson
You`re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can`t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
-Malcolm X
To whom do we aspire to reflect on our own peoples death?
For who`s entertainment shall we sing songs of agony?
With what hope shall the destroyers aspiring to extinguish us, suddenly
suffer remorse at the sight of their own fantastic success?
The last imbecile to dream such a dream is dead, he is killed by the saviors of his own dream...........

How to start your day with a positive attitude:
Create a "new folder" on your computer.
Name it "George W. Bush".
Send it to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Your computer will ask you: "Do you really want to delete "George W. Bush"?
Calmly answer, "Yes", and press the mouse button firmly...
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the vitriolic words and violent actions of the "Bad People" but appalling silence and indifference of the "Good People". Our Generation will have to repent, not only for the words and actions of the Children of Darkness, but also for the fears and apathy of the Children of Light.
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, andwiser people so full of doubts.
Bertrand Russell
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out...without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.
-H. L. Mencken
Most people are scared to be free. They want someone else to tell them how to be free.
Cornell West
"Talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them `You are supreme: exercise your power.` They say, `That`s right: tell us what to do`; and I tell them. I say `Exercise your vote intelligently by voting for me.` And they do. That`s democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place."
-George Bernard Shaw
My studies in Speculative Philosophy, metaphysics, and science are all summed up in the image of a mouse called man running in and out of every hole in the cosmos hunting for the Absolute Cheese.
- Edmund Burke
Most people are scared to be free. They want someone else to tell them how to be free.
Cornell West
The only cats worth anything are the cats who take chances.
Thelonius Monk
"For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
-David Rockefeller "Memoirs"
"These will be some of the features of democracy. . . it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, parti-colored society, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not."
-Plato "The Commonwealth" frequently and more importantly, conveniently mistranslated as "The Republic"
". . . there are periods of history when the visions of madmen and dope fiends are a better guide to reality than the common-sense interpretation of data available to the so-called normal mind. This is one such period, if you haven't noticed already."
-Robert Anton Wilson
Were all [Censored]. It helps to remember that.
