As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. the only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery. i do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; i mean direct slavery, the slavery of the blacks in surinam, in brazil, in the southern regions of north america. direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. … slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance.

When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.

We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

The repose necessary to all beauty is repose, not of inanition, nor of luxury, nor of irresolution, but the repose of magnificent energy and being; in action, the calmness of trust and determination; in rest, the consciousness of duty accomplished and of victory won; and this repose and this felicity can take place as well in the midst of trial and tempest, as beside the waters of comfort.

Is this not true--that in proportion to the value of their estates the extremely wealthy pay far less taxes than those of moderatemeans? compare the amount paid by millionaires with the amount paid by ordinary citizens. i believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.

I was raised in a musical family - 5 girls and 1 boy - so all of us girls don't do gender. we were all made to believe that we could do anything we wanted and so we did. one of my early bands was with my sisters. i didn't really come across a lot of problems because i just didn't see it. i took myself seriously and so everyone else did too - this is my mantra.
