Holding My Nose On OBama

Once again the choice in voting for President of the United States will be between choosing something that is certifiably putrid- and something that smells so god awfully bad, it might as well be...

Greed + Hypocrisy

Greed + Hypocrisy
Goethe- The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.

Edward Snowden- I had been looking for leaders, but I realized that leadership is about being the first to act.

Mohandas Gandhi- Poverty is the worst form of violence.

Voltaire- Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Chris Hedges- Civilizations in the final stages of decay are dominated by elites out of touch with reality.

Claude Chabrol- Intelligence has its limits while stupidity has none.

Carl T. Rowan- It is often easier to become outraged by injustice half a world away than by oppression and discrimination half a block from home.

African Proverb- The foreigner sees only what he knows.

Elliott Erwitt- I don't believe that photography can change the world, but it can show the world changing.

Gilles Peress- I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography.' I am gathering evidence for history.

Yogi Berra- You can observe a lot just by watching.

Dorothea Lange- A camera is an instrument that teaches us how to see without a camera.

Henry David Thoreau- It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

Robert Dosineau- If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time.

Duane Michals- Never trust any photograph so large it can only fit inside a museum.

Paul Watson- A person without regrets is a person who has not lived a life of diversity of interests and cause.

MLK- Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

Prof. Ivan King- Can we really claim to know anything about the nature of the universe if we don't know the properties, or even the nature, of 90% of its material?

Dr. Wernher von Braun- It is as impossible to confirm them (UFOs) in the present as it will be to deny them in the future.

And Remember:
Real Thugs Wear Flag Pins!
