More From George Orwell

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright; the band is playing somewhere; and somewhere hearts are light; and somewhere men are laughing; and little children shout; but there is no joy in mudville- great casey has struck out.

So long as we continued to attach more importance to our own narrow group membership than to the 'global village' we would propagate prejudice and ignorance. there was absolutely no harm in being part of a small group - indeed, with our hunter-gatherer band mentality it gave comfort, provided us with an inner circle of friends who could be utterly trusted, who were absolutely reliable. it helped give us peace of mind. the danger came only from drawing that sharp line, digging that ditch, laying that minefield, between our own group and any other group that thought differently.
Ignorance Circles Drawing
Hardship, in forcing us to exercise greater patience and forbearance in daily life, actually makes us stronger and more robust. from the daily experience of hardship comes a greater capacity to accept difficulties without losing our sense of inner calm. of course, i do not advocate seeking out hardship as a way of life, but merely wish to suggest that, if you relate to it constructively, it can bring greater inner strength and fortitude.

The goal of this office will not be to favor one religious group over another - or even religious groups over secular groups. it will simply be to work on behalf of those organizations that want to work on behalf of our communities, and to do so without blurring the line that our founders wisely drew between church and state.

I am truly amazed that after all this time, religious groups still need to attack entertainment and use these tragedies as a pitiful excuse for their own self-serving publicity. in response to their protests, i will provide a show where i balance my songs with a wholesome bible reading. this way, fans will not only hear my so-called, violent point of view, but we can also examine the virtues of wonderful 'christian' stories of disease, murder, adultery, suicide and child sacrifice. now that seems like 'entertainment' to me.

A religious creed differs from a scientific theory in claiming to embody eternal and absolutely certain truth, whereas science is always tentative, expecting that modification in its present theories will sooner or later be found necessary, and aware that its method is one which is logically incapable of arriving at a complete and final demonstration.

Traditional judeo-christian values literally hang in the balance in america. they can be 'forgotten' in a single generation if they are not taught to children and teenagers... it could happen here if we don't defend what we believe.
