Crisis; early Vietnam; JFK's attempts at peace with Khrushchev; JFK 
assassinated.

"/The Cold War has been the most irritating thing to me personally. 
Throughout my life we`ve been in the grip of militarism and military 
budgets and a mindset that dictates a war on Communism, and that`s a 
drain on the national energy. The real enemy is nationalism and 
patriotism/." ~Oliver Stone

"/Dreams of changing America into something that would end this 
oppression, or any of the horrors inflicted on humanity, are toxic 
illusions that keep people chained to the very system that's responsible 
for all this oppression./" ~ Carl Dix, 2013

"/I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but i 
do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act./" ~GK Chesterton

"/The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house/." ~Audre Lorde

"/Propaganda is to a democracy what violence is to a dictatorship./"  
~William Blum

/"Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any 
different." ~/Jack Kornfield, PhD


/"//There are generally three types of people: The first type are people 
who 'make things happen'. The second type are people who 'watch things 
happen' and the third type are people who 'wonder what happened'." /~anon//
