Inspiring Quote
The greatest purveyor of violence on the planet,
my own government.

A time comes when silence is betrayal.
Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth, men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government's policy, especially in time of war.
Nor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one's own bosom and in the surrounding world.

from The Inner Truth
by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


We need a leader like him.

Let's not fall in line now with the other sheeple, guys. Resist. It's "hard work" ;) But we have to.
