(This list has been circulating around the internet for a while now, but it never hurts to bring it back now and then, throw it in a few faces and ask, "Why? Why is anyone so willing to take all the crap that the Powers That Be can throw out but unwilling to stand with The People?"
If you're honest, you will admit that you may have been taking the wrong side.
Blessings to all Americans and may we ultimately find the way to cooperation and peace.
"Relationships are all there is. Everything in the universe only exists because it is in relationship to everything else. Nothing exists in isolation. We have to stop pretending we are individuals [who] can go it alone." Margaret Wheatley
