"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan--to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

- end of Lincoln's second inaugural

"It is only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth, and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, that we will begin to live each day to the fullest; as if it was the only one we had.""When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us." HELEN KELLER

kind of a quote here - lyrics from a song by mitch benn (www.myspace.com/mitchbenn) on the news that a guy from britain was released from a prizon camp... imagine a laid back reggae tune

first thing this morning they took off my ankle chains
undid my manacles and put me on a plane
didnt know what was going on or where might touch down
imagine my distress when i found myself back in tipton town

no not here no way
i wanna go back to guantanamo bay
the sky here's so grey
wont you take me back to guantanamo bay

they wont even put me in jail
im really quite annoyed
i was the scurge of the western world
and now im unemployed
some job in burger king - that seems to be the plan
at least i had a trade when i was in the taliban

don't wanna work for no pay,
i wanna go back to guantanamo bay
i need somebody to obey
can you take me back to guantanamo bay
i was doing ok,
wont you take me back to guantanamo bay,
i wanna go back to guantanamo bay


personally, ive been to tipton and it was closed.or at least thats the way it looked.

I was just looking at some Nietzsche quotes too:

Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man's?

- Friedrich Nietzsche
