"Perhaps when we realize that our food,clothing,entertainment,and other choices affect animals,the planet,and other people,we might be moved to make choices based not only on what we are free to do,but what would be good to do.We do have choices.But until society is able to see through corporate spin,our choices are limited indeed."-WHY ANIMALS MATTER:THE CASE FOR ANIMAL PROTECTION "What after all is religion?It is fear.It pretends to love.Religion teaches the slave virtues-obedience,humility,self denial,forgiveness,non-resistance.Religion does not teach self reliance,independence,manliness,courage,self defense.Religion makes god a master and man his serf.The master cannot be great enough to make slavery sweet.Religion has always been the enemy of science,investigation,and thought.Education is the enemy of superstition and education is the foe of that egotism often mistaken for patriotism."-ROBERT G. INGERSOLL "Labor is prior to, and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much higher consideration".-ABRAHAM LINCOLN "machines are the new proletariat. the working class is being given it's walking papers." -JACQUES ATTALI "there is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not for everyone's greed." -FRANK BUCHMAN

GANDHI'S SEVEN DEADLY SOCIAL SINS: politics without principle. wealth without work. commerce without morality. pleasure without conscience. education without character. science without humility. worship without sacrifice."a society set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak."-GEORGE ORWELL"i earn what i eat, get what i wear, owe no man hate, envy no man's happiness, glad of other men's good, content with my harm." -SHAKESPEARE
"tell you one lesson i've learned, if you wanna be something in life, you're not gonna get it unless you give a little bit of sacrifice. sometimes you gotta cry before you smile, you need a heart that's filled with music, if you use it you can fly, if you want to be high."-THE ROOTS
