"What does it matter to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless?"
"What does it matter to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?"

"Democracy and violence can ill go together. Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side."

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Mohandas K. Gandhi

2. That is what is so endlessly irritating about democracy.
However, WE are behaving as if we are in a democracy. The Republicans refuse to participate in democracy. It is their way or the highway and that is NOT democracy.

4. You must be the change you wish to see in the world - this is for us.
There is a lot of change happening at the grassroots level and that is where it will do the most good. If we are not changing out lifestyles then there will not be change.

6. When did I say that? As a just recently homeless person I would not.
But if we do not act there will only be more dead, orphaned and homeless.
