“How thrilling to discover one had depths, how consoling to find them less polluted than the shallows, how encouraging to identify the enemy not as a fissure in the will but as a dead fetus in the specimen jar of the unconscious.

“In your bed tonight, turn off all of the lights and make sure that there is no noise. There is something that you will hear. It is probably that branch slapping the window but you better believe that your mind is going to go to some sick individual tapping on the glass because he wants to get your attention to come to the window for when you do you will be grabbed through it and pulled outside. That happens to me all of the time.” WantMindBelieveLightHappensTurnsIndividualAttentionBedWindowSickGlassesNoiseBranchesTonightTurn OffTappingSlapping Author:Marcus Dunstan
“Every Cuban has a house to live in, no matter how meager. That house is provided by government. Every Cuban who gets sick can go to a doctor or a hospital and get medical attention while 45 million Americans don't have medical insurance. Every Cuban can get education from the kindergarten through college and they don't have to pay. What is Castro doing that we might benefit from-if we are not too arrogant and falsely proud to see what he is doing in a small nation and what we have not been able to do or not been willing to do in the greatest nation on the earth?” IfsMatterGovernmentMightAbleEarthHouseNationsPayAttentionMillionsCollegeWillingProudBenefitsDoctorsSickMedicalHospitalsArrogantCubanKindergartenCastroSmall NationsMedical Insurance Author:Louis Farrakhan
