And the truth will…
James Earl Carter told the truth about Israel and the Middle East. He has my sympathy for the slings and arrows, and I’m grateful for his candor.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

“I’ll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours”
― Bob Dylan,
You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
― Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum LP

“We cannot expect

until we teach respect
to those we have entrusted
to enforce those laws.”
― Hunter S. Thompson

Solutions to unending violence in the Middle East may depend most on people understanding the necessity of changing course, and knowing how to rebuild and restore the nations.
“American democracy, once held up as a beacon for the rest of the world, is a withered caricature of its former self, no longer capable of concealing the dictatorship of the financial and corporate elites…”
