About Me


Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
---The Dalai Lama
When the people lead, the leaders they will have to follow.
And all their lies and their alibies, they will have to swallow.
And it's you, you, you that has the authority.
For the one who is right is the majority.
So as long as someone else controls your history.
The truth, it shall remain just a mystery.
You can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink.
You can put a man to school, but you cannot make him think.
Watch them try to hide this world's imposition.
But like disease that has come 'round from remission.
And when it seems as if it has left your, left your person.
All the while it has only worsened.
Yes, when the people lead,
People take the lead.
Children you've got to take your lead,
Or you shall be led astray.
Did you know....
In the 2001 UK Census 390,000 people listed their religion as Jedi Knight making it the fourth biggest belief in the country.
