It takes care; it takes patience and fear and despair to change, though you swear to change who can tell if you do? We've changed; we're strangers; I'm meeting you in the woods. Who minds? What dangers? I know we'll get past the woods-and once we're past, let's hope the changes last beyond woods, beyond witches and slippers and hoods, just the two of us, beyond lies, safe at home with our beautiful prize, just the few of us. It takes trust, it takes just a bit more and we're done... It takes two.

-- Stephen Sondheim through The Baker

"COURAGE AND COMPASSION"
Lieutenant-Colonel Tim Collins, Commander 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment Battle Group
Briefing his troops, 3/19/03 - the day the Iraq war began.

Excerpts from Lt. Col. Collins' Speech:

"It is a big step to take another human life. It is not to be done lightly.

"I know of men who have taken life needlessly in other conflicts. I can assure you they live with the mark of Cain upon them. If someone surrenders to you, then remember they have that right in international law and ensure that one day they go home to their family. The ones who wish to fight, well, we aim to please.

"If you harm the regiment or its history by over-enthusiasm in killing or in cowardice, know it is your family who will suffer. You will be shunned unless your conduct is of the highest, for your deeds will follow you down through history. We will bring shame on neither our uniform nor our nation.

Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins

"Iraq is steeped in history. It is the site of the Garden of Eden, of the Great Flood and the birthplace of Abraham. Tread lightly there.

"You will see things that no man could pay to see and you will have to go a long way to find a more decent, generous and upright people than the Iraqis. You will be embarrassed by their hospitality even though they have nothing.

"Don’t treat them as refugees for they are in their own country. Their children will be poor. In years to come they will know that the light of liberation in their lives was brought by you. If there are casualties of war, then remember that when they woke up and got dressed in the morning they did not plan to die this day. Allow them dignity in death. Bury them properly and mark their graves.

"As for ourselves, let’s bring everyone home and leave Iraq a better place for us having been there. Our business now is north."

-- Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins

"The foreign policy mavens are living in a world of abstraction, and war is hell." -- John McLaughlin

 

The Washington Times on April 4 reported "As thick black smoke hung over the outskirts of Baghdad last night, American troops stood stunned by the number of enemy forces they had killed. Bodies dressed in the uniform of the Republican Guard and burned-out vehicles were strewn around the roadways. Buildings were riddled with bullet holes. 'I hope we don't experience anything like that again,' said Sgt. Simon, 38 years old, who gave only one name. 'It is like the 1991 Persian Gulf War. When I see that many bodies, I just don't want to be here anymore.' As the unit regrouped on a stretch of open land, a soldier stood looking dazed. 'When do we know when it's over? You could have sent two men in to kill Saddam Hussein. Why did we have to kill so many people? There were so many deaths today.'"

-- Sgt. Simon, 38 year old American troop

 

"America may be the best country in the world, but that's kind of like being the valedictorian of summer school." -- Dennis Miller

 

"What a country calls its vital economic interests are not the things which enable its citizens to live, but the things that enable it to make war." -- Simone Weil (1909 - 1943)

 

"The most precious thing I have in my life is my marriage and my children and now someone is trying to destroy the harmony in my family. This is not going to happen." -- Ozzy Osbourne, after a woman claimed he fathered her six-year-old child even though he had a vasectomy 17 years ago.

 

As you move on in your quest for love sex is the fastest way to erase the past. -- Kate, Love and Sex

Tough times never last. Tough people do. -- Robert Schuller

 

HOW TO PROTECT SOURCE
1. Use the <INVISIBLE> </INVISIBLE> tags around the entire document.
2. Use the DONTSTEAL attribute in the <BODY> tag.
3. FTP to your server, select all files and directories, hit "Delete".
4. Put every existing copy of every file on floppies, place them in a shoebox and bury them in the backyard. There is another version of this method which involves placing the floppies in a plastic bag and hiding them in a different sort of hole. Both are equally effective.
5. Password protect your entire site and make sure no one has the password, not even you.
6. Employ a small but fanatically loyal and well-armed band of mercenaries to guard your site.
7. Start>Run>format C:\
8. Attack dogs, preferably rabid.
9. Use any version of Microsoft Frontpage to create your site. (This won't prevent people from viewing your source, but no one will want to steal it.)
10. Don't put your pages on the web.

-- Jon Hughes      

 

The zero-tolerance people are the same ones who tell you not to listen to hip-hop, play violent video games, and remain a virgin until after you're married. Anyone who believes that the average teenager will sit for that is on better weed than their kids. -- Dennis Miller

Intelligence doesn't necessarily mean something is true. You know, it's your best estimate of the situation. It doesn't mean it's a fact. I mean, that's not what intelligence is. -- Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a Pentagon news briefing after "major combat" ended in Iraq

"On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan (from Canada), I would like to thank the Academy for this award. I have invited the other Documentary nominees on stage with me. They are here in solidarity because we like non-fiction. We like non-fiction because we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where fictitious election results give us a fictitious president. We are now fighting a war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fiction of duct tape or the fictitious 'Orange Alerts,' we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And, whenever you've got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up." -- Michael Moore

“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” -- Elizabeth Barrett Browning



Alice Walker

No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.

-- Alice Walker



She listened to her heart above all the other voices. -- ?
