About Me

Hey I'm Chris, I like the thunderbird, thoughts, and love....The CricketSoda Myspace Editor!"My actions are my only true belongings, they are the ground on which I stand"
“Why of course the people don’t want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship…Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.” — Leading Nazi leader, Hermann Goering, at the Nuremberg Trials before he was sentenced to death

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People, Friends, animals, Trees, cats, rocks...."The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?" Dorothy DayShe voted no on going to WW2, and lost her seat in congress, she later said "Never for one second could I face the idea that I would send young men to be killed for no other reason than to save my seat in Congress.""You can no more win a war, then win an earthquake" Jeannette Rankin"Only you and I can help the sun rise each coming morning. If we don't, it may drench itself out in sorrow." Joan Baez“The loud little handful will shout for war. The pulpit will warily and cautiously protest at first…The great mass of the nation will rub its sleepy eyes, and will try to make out why there should be a war, and they will say earnestly and indignantly: ‘It is unjust and dishonorable and there is no need for war.’ Then the few will shout even louder…Before long you will see a curious thing: anti-war speakers will be stoned from the platform, and free speech will be strangled by hordes of furious men who still agree with the speakers but dare not admit it...Next, statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception.” — Mark Twain
