False Hatred
Tuesday, February 15th, 2005Great Quotes from The Village
Tuesday, January 11th, 2005Ivy Walker: Sometimes we do not do things we want to do so that others do not know we want to do them.
Ivy Walker: When we are married, will you dance with me? I find dancing very agreeable. Why can you not say what is in your head?
Lucius Hunt: Why can you not stop saying what is in yours? Why must you lead, when I want to lead? If I want to dance I will ask you to dance. If I want to speak I will open my mouth and speak. Everyone is forever plaguing me to speak further. Why? What good is it to tell you you are in my every thought from the time I wake? What good can come from my saying that I sometimes cannot think clearly or do my work properly? What gain can rise of my telling you the only time I feel fear as others do is when I think of you in harm? That is why I am on this porch, Ivy Walker. I fear for your safety before all others. And yes, I will dance with you on our wedding night.

Peter Parker: Can’t you understand? I’m in love with Mary Jane.

Peter Parker: I can’t live your dreams anymore. I want a life of my own.
Uncle Ben: You’ve been given a gift, Peter. With great power comes great responsibility. Take my hand, son.

Propaganda and "Fahrenheit 9/11"
Thursday, June 17th, 2004A shout out to my friend Bobby for this awesome Dennis Miller quote:
“He’s going to wake up every day for the rest of his life, and he’s going to tell us how he hates everything about this country except his right to hate it. And then we say that we love it and he’s going to tell us what naive sheep we are and that he’s a true patriot because he hates it and sees all the problems in it. Yeah, right, Mike. You know something, if my yawn got any bigger they’d have to assigne it a hurricane name, okay?
Michael Moore simultaneously represents everything I detest in a human being and everything I feel obligated to defend in an American. Quite simply, it is that moron’s right to be that utterly, completely wrong.”
Michael Moore’s famous last words: http://www.filmrot.com/articles/filmrot_news/004671.php

Unfairenheit 9/11
The lies of Michael Moore.
By Christopher Hitchens

positive review (just to be fair)
http://www.joblo.com/fahrenheit911.htm
Before everyone jumps on the propaganda bandwagon known as (ripped off from Ray Bradbury http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2004/06/20/2003175831) Fahrenheit 9/11, take a look at this information on the mis-information being forced down the throats of people everywhere that will now claim to be the smartest voters on the planet:
Bush family – Bin Laden family ties. Whoopee. The bin Ladens happen to be one enormous clan. When the founder died in 1988, he left no fewer than 54 children (some say 53 — heck, he himself may not have kept count.). Add in grandkids, in-laws, and cousins, and it must make for a heck of a big family reunion.
The founder emigrated to Saudi Arabia early in the 20th century, founded the construction firm, was hired to rebuild Mecca, and got a lock on all religious construction in a very religious country. Most of the family is western-leaning, and send their children to the U.S. for an education. Osama went in for fanaticism, was disowned by the family, and fled the country in 1992 after the Saudis ordered him arrested.

The Carlyle Group. Yep, it’s one big business, reportedly worth over three billion, lots projects in the Mideast. Both Bushes were tied in with Carlyle pretty thoroughly, and Bush, Sr. in retirement would travel to Saudi Arabia to hunt up more contracts. The bin Laden family invested two million in a $1.3 billion fund run by it.

The airplane. About two dozen bin Laden kids were attending school in the U.S. on 9/11. They started calling the Saudi embassy, in fear they were about to be lynched (a not unreasonable fear — a few days later a Sikh was murdered, simply because he wore a turban.) The ambassador intervened (with White House, State, or FBI — accounts vary. They “were driven or flown under FBI supervision” to a location in the US. As CBS reported, then “they left the country on a private charter plane when airports reopened three days after the attacks.”

The Karate Kid
Wednesday, April 14th, 2004One of the greatest motion pictures in the history of film, if not the greatest. Growing up, this movie had a lot to do with who I am today. I connected with Daniel on a level that only one friend of mine that I know of, also did. We both took the same lessons from the film. Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel the importance of having friends, knowing himself, and going out to dances. Of experiencing life. Of knowing what is actually worth fighting for, and when it is the right time to fight. About love and hate, acceptance and revenge. On doing what needs to be done, even when it doesn’t seem like it should be done at the time.
Daniel: Hey – you ever get into fights when you were a kid?
Miyagi: Huh – plenty.
Daniel: Yeah, but it wasn’t like the problem I have, right?
Miyagi: Why? Fighting fighting. Same same.
Daniel: Yeah, but you knew karate.
Miyagi: Someone always know more.
Daniel: You mean there were times when you were scared to fight?
Miyagi: Always scare. Miyagi hate fighting.
Daniel: Yeah, but you like karate.
Miyagi: So?
Daniel: So, karate’s fighting. You train to fight.
Miyagi: That what you think?
Daniel: [pondering] No.
Miyagi: Then why train?
Daniel: [thinks] So I won’t have to fight.
Miyagi: [laughs] Miyagi have hope for you.
Miyagi: Your friend, all karate student, eh?
Daniel: Friend? Oh, yeah, those guys.
Miyagi: Problem: attitude.
Daniel: No the problem is, I’m getting my ass kicked every other day, that’s the problem.
Miyagi: Hai, because boys have bad attitude. Karate for defense only.
Daniel: That’s not what these guys are taught.
Miyagi: Hai — can see. No such thing a bad student, only bad teacher. Teacher say, student do.
Daniel: Oh, great, that solves everything for me. I’ll just go down to the school and straighten it out with the teacher, no problem.
Miyagi: Now use head for something other than target.
[Miyagi karate-chops the tops off three beer bottles]
Daniel: How did you do that? How did you do that?
Miyagi: Don’t know. First time.
Miyagi: We make sacred pact. I promise teach karate to you, you promise learn. I say, you do, no questions.
Miyagi: Oh, Daniel-san, you too much by self, not good.
Daniel: I’m not by myself, I’m with you.
Miyagi: To make honey, young bee need young flower…not old prune.
