is that a distant war drum you hear in IRAN or is it the SOUND OF SILENCE?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

SOUND OF SILENCE

Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you again,



Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,



And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains

Within the sound of silence.



In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp




When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.




And in the naked light I saw





Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share




And no one dare




Disturb the sound of silence.




"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you."

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed
In the wells of silence




And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.




And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls."

And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.


Are you a fighting Democrat like Senator John Kerry? Will you help him bring peace to the country? Will you sit silently as we nuke Iran?

1. Reminds me of multimedia stuff we used to do in high school

called them zingers. Slides set to music, they could be quite effective.

2. they've been very effective even in freeper infested sites

the true blues jump on them and freepers feel guilty... works for me and it gets positive petitions signed.

7. I am a rock.

I am an island.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

9. that's one of my favorites.... and a damn good idea for fututre threads

John Donne
Meditation XVII: No man is an island...

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

[Neil Lisst]

11. No man is an island. No man stands alone.

I can't remember the song, but those lines are in it.

[Neil Lisst]

I'm having a vigil for 9 more days since the Kerry petition claims that is a deadline. Even if you guys have signed, I hope you continue to support the ongoing campaign with kicks and votes. I promise to keep it inspirational and poignant.
