Tell a child in Africa who was born with AIDS, has no food and no parents that they were born equal.

O my God, if only everyone had this sentiment there would be no more wars

This one needs to be sent to Washington immediately, i.e., "squirting half the house in order to water a single rose-bush"

yes, yes, yes

The oposite is true - when you are born there is no such thing as equalitiy. Its only through life you stand a chance of attaining some sort or equality and thats if you are lucky and the world starts down the road of compassion.

Hadrian couldn't of said it better...

They win the battle with their bombs and then if that is not enough they do it again as victors with their words

Yes, and its truth is smothered by the ruling class

Well done Albert; and, it still applies today but even more so...

well done Joe you hit the nail on the head

Describes the present administration to a tee.

Wow I agree Reston it could have been written yesterday

Yes, and it will be our undoing

We must not throw shadows on those less fortunate

Yes, Yes, Yes - "...Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."

If only we could practice this...

I think it was an excellent quote and very timely considering that the present administration is trying it's darnedest to fool us all.

Dick and Andy right on - tell them as it IS. How is it we are so blind to our own self-destruction? We MUST stop thinking nationally and think globally; we must stop thinking of our own comfort and start doing what is right - the war in Iraq was totally fabricated – while the outcome may be successful, for which I have my doubts, the reason was a lie. It amazes me that we can think of impeaching an adult for some private sexually act between consent adults and yet allow no such discussion when an adult commits a blatant lie which kills over two thousand Americans and over thirty thousand innocent women and children - what the hell are WE??? while despots in other countries are still getting away with genocide, children daily being killed and abused in Uganda, children dying of cold in Pakistan, children dying of hunger in draught torn Africa and the list goes on – but no, we invade another county because it has a resource we need. While we are on this road it will certainly end in our own self destruction – a change must occur in our way of life, we must rethink our values, rethink our very existence before it is to late.

Well done Andy + if only the last two points were true...

Didn't the head of Honda say something similar? "Out of a hundred decisions only one was correct" who’s good at research?

Fabulous – we should have this pinned on every door in Washington DC

Yes, we hide behind any system that prevents individuality - yes, we hide and call it Freedom

How often we turn away when it doesn't effect our freedom...

Yes, yes, yes

by definition there is no retort
