Quote of the Day

"You know you've gone over the top in terms of your bigotry, homophobia and racism when even the original Boys In The Hoods don't want to be associated with you."

Quote of the Day By NFL Hall of Famer Michael Irvin

"I don't see how any African-American, with any inkling of history, can say that you don't have the right to live your life how you want to live your life. No one should be telling you who you should love, no one should be telling you who you should be spending the rest of your life with. When we start talking about equality, and everybody being treated equally, I don't want to know an African-American who will say everybody doesn't deserve equality."
         ~Michael Irvin

Quote of the Day 06.24.11

“We are not responding to this instant if we are judging any aspect of it. The ego looks for what to criticize. This always involves comparing with the past. But love looks upon the world peacefully and accepts.

The ego searches for shortcomings and weaknesses. Love watches for any sign of strength. Love sees how far each one has come and not how far he has to go.

How simple it is to love, but how exhausting it is to find fault: for every time we see a fault we think something needs to be done about it. Love knows that nothing is ever needed but more love.

It is what we do with out hearts, not the actions of our body or the words of our mind, that affects others most deeply and transmits love. We love from heart to heart."

- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

". . . Who in the [entertainment] industry wouldn't be proud if Oscar broadcast

participants showed solidarity with the working people of Wisconsin? Year in and year out, on the red carpet and onstage at the Kodak theatre, we see red AIDS ribbons on gowns and tuxedo lapels. On Sunday, why not the clenched fist symbol, which supporters of Wisconsin's municipal employees have adopted in homage to the early 1980’s Polish shipyard workers movement?

Every time people watching the 83rd annual Academy Awards laugh at a joke, they’ll remember it was written by a member of the Writers Guild of America... that every tune they enjoy is played by members of the American Federation of Musicians. . . . "
