You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. You can only be free if I am free. - Clarence Darrow
A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness....The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity. - Nelson Mandela
For Freedom's battle once begun,
Bequeath'd by bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft is ever won. - Lord Byron
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee:Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore
You'll need to take a tomato bath and trim your nose hairs to get that stench completely gone.
Now....Ive got 3 tins of Italian plum tomatoes in the bath (opened and emptied).....and I'm slowly, and painfully pulling the hairs out of my nose with a pair of tweezers...OUCH!
Ehmmm....the bath looks like Dracula honked up in it, so do I just add hot water and get in now?
*Awaiting further instructions*
It's so good to have you back again, Captain!
I dedicate the following quotes to Gypsy and all the members of ICMag who've followed the drama and stayed on board during these trying times. Time to raise anchor and set sails once again!
Gypsy, may you forever be FREE!
