"When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labeled 'Made in Germany;' it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called 'fascism;' it will be called, of course, 'Americanism.'"
— Halfords E. Luccock (9.11.1938)
WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW,
CANNOT HURT US,
or so goes the saying.
There are the things we know
that we know;
there are the things we know
that we don't know;
and there are the things we don't know
that we don't know.
Anyone who claims to
know any different
is a fool,
doomed on the cliffs
of
ignorance,
a danger to themselves
and everyone else.
Take your fists out of your hands
and keep your eyes open,
for there is always a better way,
it just may require
sacrifice;
sacrifice of something
you do not
wish to let go.
But I know there is
always a better way.
Maybe somewhere
deep below the surface
we may be able to find
ourselves once again,
and come to realize
that
what
we
fight
over
simply DO NOT exist.
And maybe that's the point;
maybe it's all within us;
been there all along
within the Universe
inside our hearts.
"I disapprove of what you say,
but I will defend to the death
your right to say it[.]" — Voltaire
