"In other words, they need a country divided. We don't" Former President Bill Clinton (At the Democratic National Convention, Clinton summarized an idea that I have felt for a long time. The Republican party uses a tactic to win elections, that tactic is to alienate those that do not share their beliefs and divide the population. This creates a sense of "the just" fighting "evil". It has worked ever since Reagan drummed up competition with the Russians. The Republican Party thrives on a divided America.) |

"Does he have a garage? We need to see significant progress. Avoid the issuance of civil penalties because it gives TOC a bad rap, but recognize that sometimes, you have to crack the whip. What do you think is reasonable? If the engine is bad, replace it. All we need to see is that it moves forward and backward. Who cares if it's ugly. Greg's ugly and sometimes trashy, but we don't fine him. I would just advise you to be reasonable and put yourself in their shoes. Treat people the way you would want to be treated. Let me know what you decide." - Mark Tutor (An email sent to my co-worker, Lenny.) |

| February 09, 2004 | "In ancient civilization if you killed somebody, instead of putting you in jail like they do nowadays... They took that dead person and strapped that dead person to your back. And you know what ended up happening? The dead person ended up killing the person that was carrying him. (sobbing) I had a dead person on my back from a long time, and I carried that man on my back until I heard a voice inside of me say, 'Tammy, lay him down. Just lay him down. I'll take care of you.' And one day I unstrapped that dead body from my back. I laid that body down, and I said, 'God, He's not a part of my anymore.' And I lived. And a lot of you people today may have a lot of dead people strapped to your back who have worked you. It may be your mom for not accepting you, or it may be your dad, or some family member for not accepting you as you are; but you need to unstrap who has ever hurt you. Get them off your back and go forward, and live! Lay them down, let them go, and move on!" (Speaking before a large group at a book signing on The WB's "The Surreal Life".) - Tammy Faye Messner | |||||
