Song of Compassion was written to commemorate the victims of the 1990 earthquake in northern Iran. It’s not a go-quietly-into-the-night requiem, however, but a cry of desperation, of suffering, of compassion for that suffering, switching between impassioned vocalists throughout.

If there is to be reconciliation, first there must be truth.”
― Timothy B. Tyson

We must content ourselves with the mystery, the absurdity, the contradictions, the hostility, but also the generosity that our environment offers us. It’s not much, but it’s always better than the deadly, defeatist certainty of the paranoid.”
― Philip K. Dick,

“How can you love those who have stolen from you, assaulted or abused you, or tried to blow you up and completely destroy you? How can you forgive those who have kidnapped, tortured and killed someone you love? Yet this is where reconciliation has to begin.”
― Andrew White

“‎Reconciliation‬ is the most significant level of life’s maturity!”
― Dr Paul Gitwaza

“The overall purpose of human communication is – or should be – reconciliation. It should ultimately serve to lower or remove the walls of misunderstanding which unduly separate us human beings, one from another.”
― M. Scott Peck,

We are all one – or at least we should be – and it is our job, our duty, and our great challenge to fight the voices of division and seek the salve of reconciliation. Roy Barnes

Reconciliation should be accompanied by justice, otherwise it will not last. While we all hope for peace it shouldn’t be peace at any cost but peace based on principle, on justice.

Corazon Aquino

The world is not dialectical – it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.

Jean Baudrillard

The passion of hatred is so long lived and so obstinate a malady that the surest sign of death in a sick person is their desire for reconciliation.

Jean De La Bruyere

Martin Luther King, Jr. didn’t carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equality; he carried the American flag.

Adrian Cronauer

GUESTS: DAVID SINRICH AND ANDY SHELDON

QUOTES:

Fascism is capitalism plus murder.”
― Upton Sinclair

“Fascism is when corporations become the government.”
― Bill Maher

“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power”
― Benito Mussolini

“Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.”
― Friedrich von Hayek

“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power…. Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.”
― Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly several million fascists in the United States.”
― Henry Wallace

“The split in America, rather than simply economic, is between those who embrace reason, who function in the real world of cause and effect, and those who, numbed by isolation and despair, now seek meaning in a mythical world of intuition, a world that is no longer reality-based, a world of magic.”
― Chris Hedges,

“I really am a pessimist. I’ve always felt that fascism is a more natural governmental condition than democracy. Democracy is a grace. It’s something essentially splendid because it’s not at all routine or automatic. Fascism goes back to our infancy and childhood, where we were always told how to live. We were told, Yes, you may do this; no, you may not do that. So the secret of fascism is that it has this appeal to people whose later lives are not satisfactory.”
― Norman Mailer

The essence of fascism is to make laws forbidding everything and then enforce them selectively against your enemies.”
― John Lescroart

“State ownership! It leads only to absurd and monstrous conclusions; state ownership means state monopoly, concentrated in the hands of one party and its adherents, and that state brings only ruin and bankruptcy to all.”
― Benito Mussolini

“Hitler lied shamelessly about himself and about his enemies. He convinced millions of men and women that he cared for them deeply when, in fact, he would have willingly sacrificed them all. His murderous ambition, avowed racism, and utter immorality were given the thinnest mask, and yet millions of Germans were drawn to Hitler precisely because he seemed authentic. They screamed, “Sieg Heil” with happiness in their hearts, because they thought they were creating a better world.”
― Madeleine K. Albright, Fascism: A Warning

“Before fascism could become a serious contender, one chief would have to emerge as the “gatherer”—the one able to shove his rivals aside and assemble in one tent all the (nonsocialist) discontented.”
― Robert O. Paxton, The Anatomy of Fascism

“We must see fascist rule as a never-ending struggle for preeminence within a coalition, exacerbated by the collapse of constitutional restraints and the rule of law, and by a prevailing climate of social Darwinism.”
― Robert O. Paxton,

“North Korea, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, isn’t democratic. The Nazis, the National Socialists, weren’t socialists. And America isn’t the land of the free. It’s all just clever nationalist marketing.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy

“Decades ago, George Orwell suggested that the best one-word description of a Fascist was “bully,”
― Madeleine K. Albright

“Censorship is the child of fear
the father of ignorance
and the desperate weapon of fascists everywhere.”
― Laurie Halse Anderson

A nationalist…is not at all the same thing as a patriot. A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best.”
― timothy snyder,

“The dirty secret of fascism is that its appeal is not rational; it is, therefore, impervious to rational argument. You cannot talk someone out of a feeling of hatred.”
― Katherine Cross

“Tolerance is a virtue, but tolerance coupled with passivity is a vice.”
― Chris Hedges

“If we want to stop Fascism we must understand it. Wishful thinking will not help us. And reciting optimistic formulae will prove to be as inadequate and useless as the ritual of an Indian rain dance.”
― Erich Fromm, Escape from Freedom

“Newspapers are not made any longer by news or journalism. They are made by sheer weight of money expressed in free gift schemes. They serve not the interests of the many, but the vested interests of the few.”
― Oswald Mosley

“I’m afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to America in the name of national security.”
― Jim Garrison

“It is the press, above all, which wages a positively fanatical and slanderous struggle, tearing down everything which can be regarded as a support of national independence, cultural elevation, and the economic independence of the nation.”
― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

“We live in very remarkable times. We find with astonishment that progress has concluded an alliance with barbarism.”
― Sigmund Freud, Moses and Monotheism

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
― James Waterman Wise

“The fall of moral civilization has always been brought about by those who were “just doing their jobs”.”
― Jeremy Grantham

“The Nazis understand everything except humour.”
― Mary Berg

“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
– George Orwell

Show Notes:
The focus tonight will be on the Holocaust. Our guests will be Dr. Liliane Kshensky Baxter, who devoted the past 13 years to preserving Holocaust survivors’ stories as the Director at the Breman Museum’s Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education. Bebe Forehand, a survivor of the holocaust who was hidden from the Nazis with a story similar to Anne Frank .
After moving to Atlanta to obtain her doctorate, Lili Baxter volunteered at the Martin Luther King Center until she was offered the job by Coretta Scott King as the director of nonviolence studies From 1979 to 1992. She served as senior staff for Mrs. Coretta Scott King, directing the King Center’s leadership programs for college and graduate students as well as summer institutes and annual conferences on nonviolence. This past year I’ve returned to the King Center (now under the leadership of Rev. Bernice King) as senior nonviolence educator and consultant on nonviolence training and curriculums. She helped launch Bearing Witness, a Breman series where a survivors spoke after a brief documentary portraying an individual story. Her movie documentary Choosing Hope; Jewish Responses to the Holocaust is listed on IMdB. Be sure to listen June 25th at 8pm for this special program.

Special guest Bebe Forehand , was shielded from the Nazis in an attic. A family friend brought food, books and materials to read during the hours while they were in hiding. As a result, her mother, father, grandfather and brother were all able to survive the Holocaust.

1. Was Germany the only country that considered eliminating Jews?
2. Were there other attempts at genocide in the 20th century? How about now?
3. As first person surviviors and witness’s to the holocaust die, soon there will be no one who can be an actual witness? Is this a dangerous fact?
4. What are your personal and family experiences of the German Holocaust in Warsaw?
5. Is there a literal meaning to Holocaust?
6. Were all concentration camps death camps?
7. Who else was targeted for extinction by the Nazis?
8. Was Hitler a “pure” Aryan, whatever that was supposed to be?
9. Do you think those who identify with the Nazis have an understanding of the third reich?
10. Non jews were systematically murdered by the Nazis. Is there a figure of how many were systematically murdered? (up to 17 million)

TRIBUTE TO JOAN BAEZ-

JOAN BAEZ HAS COME AND GONE IN ATLANTA PERFORMING AT SYMPHONY HALL FOR HER FAREWELL TOUR. TONIGHT WE PAY TRIBUTE TO HER AND HER MUSIC. OUR GUEST IS MS. NINA RICCI, A YOUNG ARTIST WHO HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR JOAN AND HER CONTRIBUTION TO MUSIC. SHE WILL BE SINGING SOME OF BAEZ’S SONGS AND I WILL BE AIRING SOME RECORDINGS TOO.

QUESTIONS FOR NINA:

WHEN DID YOU FIRST HEAR OF JOAN BAEZ?

ARE YOU IN A MUSICAL FAMILY? HAS YOUR FAMILY SUPPORTED YOUR EFFORTS.

DO YOU TRY AND WRITE MUSIC TOO? LIKE JOAN BAEZ AND BOB DYLAN, YOU ARE STARTING EARLY.

HAVE YOU SEEN “DON’T LOOK BACK”, A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BOB DYLAN’S EARLY CAREER AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH JOAN BAEZ?

WHERE CAN PEOPLE HEAR YOUR MUSIC LIVE? DO YOU HAVE A WEBSITE WHERE PEOPLE CAN DOWNLOAD YOUR MUSIC?

DO YOU HAVE A DAY JOB, TOO? OR IS YOUR PRIMARY FOCUS ON MUSIC NOW.

WHO ELSE DO YOU ADMIRE, MUSICIAN OR OTHERWISE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JOAN’S POLITICAL ACTIVISM OVER THE YEARS?

ARE YOU AWARE OF THE FEUD SHE HAD WITH AL CAPP, THE CARTOONIST WHO WROTE LIL ABNER?

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF FRANK HAMILTON AND HIS MUSIC SCHOOL?
———————————————————————————————–
FACTS ABOUT JB:

SHE IS A GIFTED SOPRANO BORN 1/9/41. SHE WAS 19 WHEN SHE RELEASED HER FIRST ALBUM. EACH OF HER FIRST 3 ALBUMS WENT GOLD AND STAYED ON THE CHARTES MORE THAN 2 YEARS.

A HIGHPOINT OF HER CAREER WAS THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON WITH MLK NOVEMBER, 1963.

THE BEATLES ARE SAID TO HAVE CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE OF THE POPULARITY OF FOLK MUSIC IN 1964 AND INTEREST IN THE MOVEMENT BEGAN TO WANE. JOAN MOVED FROM TRADITIONAL FOLK MUSIC TO SINGER SONG WRITER CONTEMPORARY MUSIC WITH PIECES BY DYLAN, BOSSA NOVA FROM BONFA, BUT NEVER ABANDONING THE BALLAD OR THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR.

A 2002 Democracy Now! interview with Joan Baez revealed that Dr. King visited Baez, who was imprisoned for blocking the entrance to the Armed Forces Induction Center in Oakland, at Santa Rita prison. He spent about an hour with the singer and gave an impromptu speech later to a group of demonstrators outside the prison.

Joan Baez wrote “The Story of Bangladesh” in 1971. This song was based on the Pakistani army crackdown on unarmed sleeping Bengali students at Dhaka University on March 25, 1971, which ignited the prolonged nine-month Bangladesh Liberation War

in 1980, Baez was given honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees by Antioch University and Rutgers University for her political activism and the “universality of her music”

Due to her father’s work in health care and with UNESCO, their family moved many times, living in towns across the U.S, as well as in England, France, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, and the Middle East, including Iraq. Joan Baez became involved with a variety of social causes early in her career, including civil rights and non-violence

In 1993, at the invitation of Refugees International and sponsored by the Soros Foundation, she traveled to the war-torn Bosnia and Herzegovina region of former-Yugoslavia in an effort to help bring more attention to the suffering there

On April 7, 2017, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In the ’80s, Saturday Night Live poked fun at her dour demeanor in a skit called “Make Joan Baez Laugh.”

Joan was only 18 when she first performed at Newport Folk Festival

PETE SEEGER QUOTES:

I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other.
Pete Seeger

It’s a very important thing to learn to talk to people you disagree with.
Pete Seeger

Songs are funny things. They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells. I always believed that the right song at the right moment could change history.
Pete Seeger

Being generous of spirit is a wonderful way to live.
Pete Seeger

If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.
Pete Seeger

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don’t.
Pete Seeger

If there’s a world here in a hundred years, it’s going to be saved by tens of millions of little things. The powers-that-be can break up any big thing they want. They can corrupt it or co-opt it from the inside, or they can attack it from the outside. But what are they going to do about 10 million little things? They break up two of them, and three more like them spring up!
Pete Seeger

And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.
Pete Seeger

I tell kids, don’t trust the media. The media with their emphasis on fame is helping to destroy this country, helping destroy the human race. It’s the plug-in drug.
Pete Seeger

Shh. Listen to the sounds that surround you. Notice the pitches, the volume, the timbre, the many lines of counterpoint. As light taught Monet to paint, the earth may be teaching you music.
Pete Seeger

Parents are the hardest-working members of the population. But they do it for the highest wages. Kisses.
Pete Seeger

I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it.
Pete Seeger

A good song reminds us what we’re fighting for.
Pete Seeger

Technology will save us if it doesn’t wipe us out first.
Pete Seeger

Most conservatives just want to turn back the clock to a time before the income tax – 100 years or so. I would like to turn the clock back thousands of years to a time when people lived in small communities and took care of each other.
Pete Seeger
Most scientists know what needs to be done to save our Earth. But the politicians don’t listen to them. They will listen to popular pressure; the people got to supply that.
Pete Seeger

According to my definition of God, I’m not an atheist. Because I think God is everything. Whenever I open my eyes I’m looking at God. Whenever I’m listening to something I’m listening to God.
Pete Seeger

And there’s a wonderful parable in the New Testament: The sower scatters seeds. Some seeds fall in the pathway and get stamped on, and they don’t grow. Some fall on the rocks, and they don’t grow. But some seeds fall on fallow ground, and they grow and multiply a thousandfold. Who knows where some good little thing that you’ve done may bring results years later that you never dreamed of?
Pete Seeger

I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs.
Pete Seeger

All the arts, music, the visual arts, acting and dancing arts, cooking arts, and I believe sports, will save the human race because they can leap over barriers, religions, leap over barriers of race, politics.
Pete Seeger

I have sung for Americans of every political persuasion, and I am proud that I never refuse to sing to an audience, no matter what religion or color of their skin, or situation in life.
Pete Seeger

I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent
the implication that some of the places that I have
sung and some of the people that I have known,
and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical,
make me less of an American.
– Pete Seeger

Tonight’s show is about Abuse following Woman’s Day March 8 and the unsolved problems of cruelty and loss of compassion. In light of so many men being unmasked for abusing their power as celebrities or for other reasons, I hope you find the music provocative, disturbing and inspirational. Topics will go from sexual abuse, spouse abuse, violence against women and men, hypocrisy and redemption. We may also have a song or two about the bad behaving male in chief and our cultural shame realized in political and media power. The opinions expressed on this program are not necessarily those of staff, management, or anyone else at WRFG.

Why are we so fascinated by celebrity and why do they get so much attention for their terrible behavior?
Who is responsible for the vulnerability of naïve young people being exploited? Does it go beyond the perpetrator>
Is there a problem for men being victims?
Of false accusations.
Of women abusing men or boys
How do we teach younger people to have better defenses>

Do you think that revelations about famous people (Weinstein, Franken, R. Kelley etc) will lead to identifying the non famous predators?

Jimmy Carter- playboy interview in the 70’s- he admitted to the sin of lusting in his mind. Where is the distinction? I am tired of hearing about sleazy singers who defend themselves on prime time? Is this a distraction from bigger problems? Do we learn anything from stupid interviews of animated celebrities?

Any sympathy for the perpetrator of sexual harassment and assault? Should there be something besides retaliation and punishment. Can a person be redeemed?

Gameau Baby’s Romance- An anonymous poster says: “A beautiful song full of piano and cello about a boy who is hiding the fact that he’s being molested by a man even though he knows his mother would kill the man if she knew. The singer reflects on what seems to be a physically violent relationship in which the man who molested him would constantly ask for cooperation. In reflection, as an adult, the singer comes to terms with the fact that he’ll never tell anyone what happened. Mr. Garneau did eventually put the man who molested him in prison.”

Because I Told You So,” Jonatha Brooke, 10 Cent Wings, Uni/MCA 1997 (Contemporary folk) Amazon.com
The person who submitted this song wrote: “This song struck me when I heard it as someone asking questions to an abuser – why can’t you just believe me when I’ve given it all up for you, taken on all the blame
QUOTES

If your flirting strategy is indistinguishable from harassment, it’s not everyone else that’s the problem.”
― John Scalzi

Women who accuse men, particularly powerful men, of harassment are often confronted with the reality of the men’s sense that they are more important than women, as a group.”
― Anita Hill, Speaking Truth to Power

WHEN A MAN TALKS DIRTY TO A WOMAN, IT’S SEXUAL HARASSMENT. WHEN A WOMAN TALKS DIRTY TO A MAN, IT’S $3.95 A MINUTE.

Unknown quotes

Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women.

Phyllis Schlafly quotes

“Asking women why they didn’t report their sexual assault right away is akin to asking someone why they didn’t report their own kidnapping Aparna Nancherla

Abuse is the means in which violence retards love—Inga Muscio

“A healthy relationship will never require you to sacrifice your friends, your dreams, or your dignity.”

“Don’t light yourself on fire trying to brighten someone else’s existence.”

“For every wound there is a scar. And every scar tells a story. A story that says: I survived.”

“One’s dignity may be assaulted and vandalized, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered” Michael J. Fox

“To deny someone feelings or experiences is to literally deny their reality.” Danu Morrigan

“The only person that deserves a special place in your life is someone that never made you feel like you were an option in theirs.” Shannon Alder

“Survivors of any and all abuse become very good at anticipating mood of others, looks, actions, all of it in an effort to survive. Believing that if we can be agreeable, be compliant and loving, do things how they want, that we will be safe. This becomes our way of life.” Darlene Ouimet

“Psychological invalidation is one of the most lethal forms of emotional abuse. It kills confidence, creativity and individuality.”

“Never let someone who contributes so little to a relationship control so much of it.”

“If you need violence to enforce your ideas, your ideas are worthless

“People who feel the need to control others, don’t have control over themselves.”

“I refuse to please others at the expense of my emotional well being. Even if it means saying “no” to people who are used to hearing ‘yes’.”

“Controllers, abusers and manipulative people don’t question themselves. They don’t ask themselves if the problem is them. They always say the problem is someone else.”

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”

“You can spend a lifetime trying to forget a few minutes of your childhood.”

“Whoever is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge.” –Nietzsche

“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.” – Edmund Burke

Don’t judge yourself by what others did to you.” – C. Kennedy

“Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime.” Herbert Ward

“Trust is only a five letter word but it can be misused in so many different ways.”

It’s funny the way most people love the dead. Once you’re dead, you’re made for life.

QUOTES

THIS IS CHRISTMAS AND THIS PROGRAM WILL BRING YOU MUSIC MOSTLY FROM LONG AGO, DATING BACK TO THE 11TH CENTURY. THE FOCUS WILL BE ON MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE WITH OTHER CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR’S SONGS THROWN INTO THE MIX. I WILL TRY AND MAKE THE MUSIC LESS MAINSTREAM THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN HEARING SINCE HALLOWEEN, WHEN THE SEASON BEGAN. SOME OF THE SONGS WILL REFLECT THE DRUID INFLUENCE ON THE SEASON AND OTHERS WILL BE INSTRUMENTALS WITH ORIGINAL ANCIENT INSTRUMENTS.

“I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.” – Shirley Temple

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” — Oprah

“May the New Year bring you courage to break your resolutions early! My own plan is to swear off every kind of virtue so that I triumph even when I fall!” ― Aleister Crowley

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives…not looking for flaws, but for potential.” ― Ellen Goodman

“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language And next year’s words await another voice.” ― TS Eliot,

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” — Edith Lovejoy Pierce, American poet and pacifist

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. – Elbert Hubbard

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. – Isaac Asimov

When you are courting a nice girl, an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder, a second seems like an hour. That is relativity. Albert Einstein

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. —Bill Vaughn

Technological progress is like putting an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal. – Albert Einstein

I wouldn’t say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they’re certainly exploited and mined by them.
Dan Savage

I celebrate everyone’s religious holidays. if it’s good enough for the righteous, it’s good enough for the self-righteous, I always say.
Bette Midler

Holidays in general breed unrealistic expectations. The minute you start wondering, ‘is it going to be wonderful enough?,’ it never will be.
Pepper Schwartz

I’m Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off.
Aasif Mandvi

Our kids are not Jewish, and they’re not Catholic. They’re not Episcopalian. They’re not Buddhist. They’re not anything. We do all the holidays to keep the traditions and the culture going, but I truly don’t have a great feeling about any particular organized religion, and I don’t think it’s right to impose one on my kids.
Rhea Perlman

“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it ‘Christmas’ and went to church; the Jews called it ‘Hanukkah’ and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say ‘Merry Christmas!’ or ‘Happy Hanukkah!’ or (to the atheists) ‘Look out for the wall!”
― Dave Barry
“I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas, as if whatever it was the pine boughs and the candles and the silver and gilt-ribboned presents and the birch-log fires and the Christmas turkey and the carols at the piano promised never came to pass.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Don’t spoil Christmas Day by anticipating how it will be. Let is unfold as it does, and be grateful for whatever comes.”

YOU CANT GET TOO MUCH WINTER IN THE WINTER.—ROBERT FROST.

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ode to the West Wind

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?
Dr. Seuss

Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.

Oren Arnold

Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we’re here for something else besides ourselves.

Eric Sevareid

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.

QUOTES

I wouldn’t say that holidays are manufactured by corporations, but they’re certainly exploited and mined by them.
Dan Savage

I celebrate everyone’s religious holidays. if it’s good enough for the righteous, it’s good enough for the self-righteous, I always say.
Bette Midler

Holidays in general breed unrealistic expectations. The minute you start wondering, ‘is it going to be wonderful enough?,’ it never will be.
Pepper Schwartz

I’m Muslim the way many of my Jewish friends are Jewish: I avoid pork, and I take the big holidays off.
Aasif Mandvi

Don’t spoil Christmas Day by anticipating how it will be. Let is unfold as it does, and be grateful for whatever comes.”
― Toni Sorenson

Throat-singing, a guttural style of singing or chanting, is one of the world’s oldest forms of music. For those who think the human voice can produce only one note at a time, the resonant harmonies of throat-singing are surprising. In throat-singing, a singer can produce two or more notes simultaneously through specialized vocalization technique taking advantage of the throat’s resonance characteristics. There are forms of it in many cultures from Inuit to Mongolia. Initially forbidden by the communist regimes of the first half of the 20th century on account of its ritual and ethnic associations and because it was considered a “backward” practice.

QUOTES:

I SPENT THREE WEEKS IN CHINA AND TIBET AND TONIGHT I HOPE TO BRING YOU SOME MUSIC AND IDEAS ABOUT THESE COUNTRIES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD. MY TRIP WAS A RESULT OF MY WIFE JANE’S PARTICIPATION IN TRAINING CHINESE STUDENTS IN PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY. WE ATTENDED THEIR GRADUATIONS IN BEIJING, X’IAN, SICHUAN PROVINCE AND SHANGHAI. WE ALSO WENT TO TIBET, THE FORMER HOME OF HH DALAI LAMA, WHOSE NAME WE WERE STRONGLY ADVISED NEVER TO MENTION WHILE WE WERE THERE. IT WAS QUITE AN ADVENTURE AND I COLLECTED MUSIC THAT I HOPE YOU WILL FIND INTERESTING. I TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM SOUNDS THAT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO THE WESTERN EAR, LIKE CHINESE OPERA. HOWEVER, THE MUSIC TONIGHT WILL NOT BE WHAT YOU HEAR ON THE RADIO. I HOPE YOU CAN BE OPEN TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS EVENING. THE PROGRAM TONIGHT CAN SERVE AS YOUR MEDITATION WITH A FEW DIVERSIONS OF TALK, QUOTES, LYRICS AND MOVIE EXCERPTS.

Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Mao Zedong

To read too many books is harmful. Mao Zedong

The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property. Karl Marx

If Children were brought up to become non-conformists it would only ruin their lives. So parents all over China who loved their children told them to do as Chairman Mao said. It was not possible to tell them anything else. Jung Chang

No company fails in communist China, because they’re all partly owned by the government.
Jim Bunning

Of course, socialism is just evil now. It’s completely discredited supposedly by the collapse of the Soviet Union, but I can’t help noticing that my grandchildren are heavily in hock to Communist China now which is evidently a whole lot better at business than we are.
Kurt Vonnegut

In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.
Barbara Tuchman

To be a member of the Communist Party is to have a taste of the police state. It is a diluted taste but is bitter and unforgettable. Elia Kazan

Unlike the Soviet Communist party, the Chinese Communist party chose to introduce capitalism. Martin Jacques

One strength of the communist system of the East
is that it has some of the character of a religion
and inspires the emotions of a religion.
– Albert Einstein
I still call myself a communist, because communism
is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity
is what the churches make of it.
– Pete Seeger

There isn’t much in the way of pure communist spirit,
because the whole nation seems to be engaged in capitalistic enterprises.
Much of the country still operates under government control.
– Iris Chang

TIBET

I believe that the Tibetans should have the right to control their own destinies and decide for themselves whether they want to be part of China or not. But this view isn’t shared by most Chinese, or even the leaders of most Western democracies. As long as the Communist Party is in power, there is little hope for Tibet. Ma Jian

The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history. Dalai Lama

A good model of how to ‘work with the enemy’ internally is presented by the Dalai Lama, in his endless caretaking of his soul as he confronts the Chinese government that invaded Tibet. Alice Walker

What the Dalai Lama had to resolve was whether to stay in Tibet or leave. He wanted to stay, but staying would have meant the total destruction of Tibet, because he would have died and that would have ripped the heart out of his people. Martin Scorsese

A text of Tibetan Buddhism describes the time of death as a unique opportunity for spiritual liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth and a period that determines our next incarnation. Stanislav Grof

The Beijing government avidly asserts its control over matters of reincarnation as a way of securing the loyalty and political complexion of influential Tibetan figures. Evan Osnos

NOTES

OUR GUESTS TONIGHT ARE PRESIDENT FOR ATLANTA’S NAACP MR. ROBERT ROSE, A MAN WITH MORE TO DO THAN ANYONE CAN DREAM POSSIBLE WITH ELECTIONS COMING UP AND ALL THE WRONGS TO BE MADE RIGHT. ALSO, MY LONG TIME FRIEND, ATTORNEY AND PSYCHOLOGIST ANDREW SHELDON. HE SERVED ON THE LEGAL TEAM THAT PROSECUTED CIVIL RIGHTS MURDERERS OF THE 1960’S THAT WERE FINALLY CONVICTED IN THE 1990S. ANDY DID WITNESS PREPARATION AND JURY SELECTION, SIMILAR TO THE CHARACTER ON THE TV SHOW “BULL”. HE IS CURRENTLY INVOLVED WITH STAR- SOUTHERN TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION. ON TOP OF ALL THAT, DR. SHELDON IS A PROLIFIC ARTIST AND HIS PAINTINGS HAVE BEEN ON EXHIBIT AT SHOWS ALL AROUND THE STATE AND BEYOND.

1. WHERE WERE YOU IN THE 1960’S DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT?

2. HOW WAS CIVIL RIGHTS PORTRAYED WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG AND IN SCHOOL? DID YOUR TEACHERS SHOW DISDAIN, SYMPATHY, SILENCE, OR SOMETHING ELSE?

3. TELL US ABOUT THE TRIALS YOU WERE INVOLVED IN THE 1990’S? DID ANYONE SUBSIDIZE YOU OR THE OTHER LAWYERS? WHO WERE SOME OF THE ATTORNEYS OR WERE ALL OF THEM ALEC BALDWIN? TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH DELABECKWITH IN THE MEN’S ROOM. WAS IT LIKE THE MOVIE “GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI”?

4. IF WE HAVE MADE PROGRESS WITH CIVIL RIGHTS, WHY DO WE HAVE THE RACE BAITING PEOPLE STILL IN OFFICE?

5. The 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer project was a 10-week voter registration program organized by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Nearly a thousand mostly White college students traveled to Mississippi to register Black voters and work in Freedom Schools. Schwerner, Goodman and Cheney were some of the volunteers, but they were brutally murdered. The case is now closed. Was this justified?

6. WAS THIS COUNTRY FOUNDED ON WHITE SUPREMACY?

7. IS RACE A SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED CONCEPT? THE FALSE IDEA THAT HUMANS HAVE REAL BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES AS OPPOSED TO SUPERFICIAL ONES MAY BE AT THE HEART OF THE IDEA OF MANIFEST DESTINY, THE FOUNDATION OF EUROPEANS TAKING OVER THIS LAND.

8. HOW ARE CLASSISM AND RACISM CONNECTED? PREJUDICE CAN BE ABOUT MORE THAN RACE. IS PREJUDICE ABOUT AFFILIATION WRONG? SPORTS, POLITICS, TRIBE, ETC? IS RACISM EMBEDDED ON OUR SOCIETY?

9. ARE THERE NEW WORDS FOR “WHITE SUPREMACY”? LIKE AMERICA FIRST?, CONSIDERING OTHER COUNTRIES S==HOLES?10. WHAT IS AVERSIVE RACISM, IE TALKING ABOUT RACE RELATED TOPICS, BUT NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT TOPICS ARE RACE RELATED? EX: VOTER SUPPRESSION, LACK OF DIVERSITY IN SCHOOLS, COMPANIES OR NEIGHBORHOODS. OR PERHAPS USING TERMS LIKE URBAN, DIVERSE OR SKETCHY.

QUESTIONS FOR ART-

QUOTES:
“I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying.”
― Nelson Mandela

“Man cannot measure the bounds nor fathom the depths of divine forgiveness…”
― James E. Talmage

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” –Mahatma Gandhi

“Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the holy of holies of Jewish time. It is that rarest of phenomena, a Jewish festival without food. Instead it is a day of fasting and prayer, introspection and self-judgment when, collectively and repeatedly, we confess our sins and pray to be written into God’s Book of life.” – Jonathan Sacks.

“You can’t undo anything you’ve already done, but you can face up to it. You can tell the truth. You can seek forgiveness. And then let God do the rest.” – Tertullian

While we should not allow the burdens of the past nor the anxieties of the future to exert a destructive effect on our living, the constructive lessons of the past and a responsible attitude towards the future can guide us to a proper and responsible life.” Rabbi Abraham J Twerski

You can’t get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement. Mike Piazza

On the Day of Atonement, Jews are commanded to seek forgiveness from the people we have hurt.
Laura Schlessinger

If the history of the Day of Atonement has anything to say to us now it is: never relieve individuals of moral responsibility. The more we have, the more we grow.
Jonathan Sacks

Our responsibility is to learn to draw upon the power of the Atonement. Otherwise, we walk through mortality relying solely on our own strength.
Sheri L. Dew

The beginning of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
Lord Byron

Every year, our white intruders become more greedy, exacting, oppressive, and overbearing. Every year, contentions spring up between them and our people, and when blood is shed, we have to make atonement, whether right or wrong, at the cost of the lives of our greatest chiefs and the yielding up of large tracts of our lands.
Tecumseh

For my part I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.

Adlai E Stevenson

Forgiveness is the final form of love.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.

Saint Augustine

I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note – torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

Henry Ward Beecher

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

Bryant H McGill

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

Josh Billings

Sincere forgiveness isn’t colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don’t worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.

Sara Paddison

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin. Henrik Ibsen

FORGIVENESS IS THE FRAGRANCE THAT THE VIOLET SHEDS ON THE HEEL THAT HAS CRUSHED IT.

Mark Twain quotes

Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.

August Wilson

Forgiveness is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.

Betty Smith

Forgiveness is not an occasional act: it is an attitude.

Martin Luther King Jr

AVENU MALKANU:

Our father our king
our king, inscribe us
in the book of good life, in the book of good life.
Our father our king
our king, inscribe us
in the book of redemption and salvation, in the book of redemption and salvation.

Kol Nidre

According to their research, it is unclear exactly when or where the Kol Nidre legal formula was created. The wording seems to mimic other legalistic contracts of the Babylonian Jewish community of the 6th and 7th centuries.
“All vows, obligations, oaths or anathemas, pledges of all names, which we have vowed, sworn, devoted, or bound ourselves to, from this day of atonement, until the next day of atonement (whose arrival we hope for in happiness) we repent, aforehand, of them all, they shall all be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, void and made of no effect; they shall not be binding, nor have any power; the vows shall not be reckoned as vows, the obligations shall not be obligatory, nor the oaths considered as oaths.”

TONIGHT’S SHOW IS A RECONSTRUCTION OF A PROGRAM I BROUGHT YOU IN 2014 ON IMMIGRATION. LOTS HAS CHANGED THEN IN OUR CULTURE AND A TROUBLING TOPIC HAS BECOME MORE EXASPERATING TO MANY OF US. THERE ARE SOME WONDERFUL SONGWRITERS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THE CONFLICT IN OUR IDENTITY AS A NATION. THE OTHER SHOW I HAD PLANNED WAS “MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING, “ BUT I WILL PRESENT THAT ANOTHER DAY.

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.”
― Franklin D. Roosevelt

“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”
― Ronald Reagan

“The truth is, immigrants tend to be more American than people born here.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Choke

“AMNESTY, n. The state’s magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil’s Dictionary

“These days, it feels to me like you make a devil’s pact when you walk into this country. You hand over your passport at the check-in, you get stamped, you want to make a little money, get yourself started… but you mean to go back! Who would want to stay? Cold, wet, miserable; terrible food, dreadful newspapers – who would want to stay? In a place where you are never welcomed, only tolerated. Just tolerated. Like you are an animal finally house-trained.”
― Zadie Smith, White Teeth

We asked for workers. We got people instead.”
― Max Frisch

“The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources–because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson

“When Europeans arrived on this continent, they blew it with the Native Americans. They plowed over them, taking as much as they could of their land and valuables, and respecting almost nothing about the native cultures. They lost the wisdom of the indigenous peoples-wisdom about the land and connectedness to the great web of life…We have another chance with all these refugees. People come here penniless but not cultureless. They bring us gifts. We can synthesize the best of our traditions with the best of theirs. We can teach and learn from each other to produce a better America…”
― Mary Pipher

Seeger- all mixed up

“A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.”
― Tony Blair

“I take issue with many people’s description of people being “Illegal” Immigrants. There aren’t any illegal Human Beings as far as I’m concerned.”
― Dennis Kucinich

“Nihil humanum a me alienum puto, said the Roman poet Terence: ‘Nothing human is alien to me.’ The slogan of the old Immigration and Naturalization Service could have been the reverse: To us, no aliens are human.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir

“Your life depends on a random stranger who could kill you, will probably disrespect you, and will most likely pay you much less than you deserve. But even those prospects are better than the ones you used to have. This is the life of los jornaleros – the day laborers.”
― Gustavo Arellano, Ask a Mexican

“The question of the stranger in a society which estranges everybody from it–while forcing everybody to assimilate their own alienation–takes cover under dubious and sinister masks.”
― Norman Manea

“The happy and powerful do not go into exile, and there are no surer guarantees of equality among men than poverty and misfortune.”
― Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

“Like other discriminatory legislation in our country’s history, immigration laws define and differentiate legal status on the basis of arbitrary attributes. Immigration laws create unequal rights. People who break immigration laws don’t cause harm or even potential harm (unlike, for example, drunk driving, which creates the potential for harm even if no accident occurs). Rather, people who break immigration laws do things that are perfectly legal for others, but denied to them–like crossing a border or, even more commonly, simply exist.”
― Aviva Chomsky, They Take Our Jobs!: And 20 Other Myths about Immigration

“If our goal is to slow migration, then the best way to do so is to work for a more equitable global system. But slowing migration is an odd goal, if the real problem is global inequality.”
― Aviva Chomsky, They Take Our Jobs!: And 20 Other Myths about Immigration

As I would learn later on, developed countries will always welcome the Einsteins of this world — those individuals whose talents are already recognized and deemed to have value. This welcome doesn’t usually extend to the poor and uneducated people seeking to enter the country. But the truth, supported by the facts of history and the richness of immigrant contribution to America’s distinction in the world, is that the most entrepreneurial, innovative, motivated citizen is the one who has been given an opportunity and wants to repay the debt.”
― Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa

As an immigrant, I chose to live in America because it is one of the freest and most vibrant nations in the world. And as an immigrant, I feel an obligation to speak up for immigration policies that will keep America the most economically robust, creative and freedom-loving nation in the world.
Rupert Murdoch

The U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.
Bill Gates

Immigration is not just compatible with but is a necessary component of economic growth.
Dave Reichert

Most Christian ‘believers’ tend to echo the cultural prejudices and worldviews of the dominant group in their country, with only a minority revealing any real transformation of attitudes or consciousness. It has been true of slavery and racism, classism and consumerism and issues of immigration and health care for the poor.
Richard Rohr

America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts.
James Madison

But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn’t really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation.
Samuel P. Huntington

We must do everything in our power to keep families together, and to use common sense in our immigration laws. Children deserve better than to lose a parent because of an inflexible law.
Jose Serrano

We cannot afford all this illegal immigration and everything that comes with it, everything from the crime and to the drugs and the kidnappings and the extortion and the beheadings and the fact that people can’t feel safe in their community. It’s wrong! It’s wrong!
Jan Brewer

My first ‘Daily Show’ piece was pretending I had this terrible immigrant journey, so I went to talk to an immigration lawyer who would help out people, and I ran into him in Penn Station about three months after I’d gotten the green card. I said, ‘I got my green card yesterday.’ And he hugged me because he understood that level of relief.
John Oliver

I am a beneficiary of the American people’s generosity, and I hope we can have comprehensive immigration legislation that allows this country to continue to be enriched by those who were not born here.
Madeleine Albright

I think there are some in the Democratic Party – not all – but I think there are some people in the Democratic Party that think that the immigration issue is more valuable to them unsolved. That it gives them something to talk about, that they can go back to Hispanic communities and make unrealistic promises every two years and win votes.
Marco Rubio

I started getting more and more active around immigration reform because this was such a waste of lives, such a waste of potential, such a waste for our country not to have the human capital that we developed – geared toward improving our entire society.
Laurene Powell Jobs

I handed my passport to the immigration officer, and he looked at it and looked at me and said, ‘What are you?’
Grace Hopper

Already we’re seeing graduates of U.S. higher education going back to their home countries and contributing to societies there, where in the past they would have stayed in the U.S. and built new companies here. We have to have immigration reform that allows talented foreigners to become Americans.
David Malpass

Although it’s the second largest country in the world, our useful area has been reduced. Our immigration policy is disgusting: We plunder southern countries by depriving them of future leaders, and we want to increase our population to support economic growth.
David Suzuki

We owe an historic debt to American Indians. They have a unique set of concerns that haven’t been addressed, and I’d like to stand with them. Also, I’d like to get their views on immigration.
Al Franken

The Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal immigrants cost the United States taxpayer about $10.4 billion a year. A large part of that expense stems from the babies born each year to illegal immigrants.
Nathan Deal

GATHERING AND INTERACTIONS OF PEOPLES, CULTURES, AND IDEAS
A Brief Timeline of U.S. Policy on Immigration and Naturalization
1790 Congress adopts uniform rules so that any free white person could apply for citizenship after two years of residency.
1798 Alien and Sedition Acts required 14 years of residency before citizenship and provided for the deportation of “dangerous” aliens. Changed to five-year residency in 1800.
1819 First significant federal legislation on immigration. Includes reporting of immigration and rules for passengers from US ports bound for Europe
1846 Irish of all classes emigrate to the United States as a result of the potato famine.
1857 Dred Scott decision declared free Africans non-citizens.
1864 Contract Labor Law allowed recruiting of foreign labor.
1868 African Americans gained citizenship with 14th Amendment.

1875 Henderson v. Mayor of New York decision declared all state laws governing immigration unconstitutional; Congress must regulate “foreign commerce.” Charity workers, burdened with helping immigrants, petition Congress to exercise authority and regulate immigration. Congress prohibits convicts and prostitutes from entering the country.
1880 The U.S. population is 50,155,783. More than 5.2 million immigrants enter the country between 1880 and 1890.
1882 Chinese Exclusion Act. First federal immigration law suspended Chinese immigration for 10 years and barred Chinese in U.S. from citizenship. Also barred convicts, lunatics, and others unable to care for themselves from entering. Head tax placed on immigrants.
1885 Contract Labor Law. Unlawful to import unskilled aliens from overseas as laborers. Regulations did not pertain to those crossing land borders.
1888 For the first time since 1798, provisions are adopted for expulsion of aliens.
1889 Jane Addams founds Hull-House on Chicago’s Near West Side.

1890 Foreign-born in US were 15% of population (14% in Vermont); more arriving from southern and eastern Europe (“new immigrants”) than northern and western (“old immigrants”). Jacob Riis publishes “How the Other Half Lives.”
1891 Bureau of Immigration established under the Treasury Department. More classes of aliens restricted including those who were monetarily assisted by others for their passage. Steamship companies were ordered to return ineligible immigrants to countries of origin.
1892 Ellis Island opened to screen immigrants entering on east coast. (Angel Island screened those on west coast.) Ellis Island officials reported that women traveling alone must be met by a man, or they were immediately deported.
1902 Chinese Exclusion Act renewed indefinitely.
1903 Anarchists, epileptics, polygamists, and beggars ruled inadmissible.
1905 Construction of Angel Island Immigration Station began in the area known as China Cove. Surrounded by public controversy from its inception, the station was finally put into operation in 1910. Although it was billed as the “Ellis Island of the West”, within the Immigration Service it was known as “The Guardian of the Western Gate” and was designed control the flow of Chinese into the country, who were officially not welcome with the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
1906 Procedural safeguards enacted for naturalization. Knowledge of English becomes a basic requirement.
1907 Head tax is raised. People with physical or mental defects, tuberculosis, and children unaccompanied by a parent are added to the exclusion list. Japan agreed to limit emigrants to US in return for elimination of segregating Japanese students in San Francisco schools.
1910 Dillingham Report from Congress assumed inferiority of “new immigrants” from southern and eastern Europe and suggested a literacy test to restrict their entry. (William P. Dillingham was a Senator from Vermont.)
1917 Immigration Act provided for literacy tests for those over 16 and established an “Asiatic Barred Zone,” which barred all immigrants from Asia.
1921 Quota Act of 1921 limited immigrants to 3% of each nationality present in the US in 1910. This cut southern and eastern European immigrants to less than 1/4 of those in US before WW I. Asians still barred; no limits on western hemisphere. Non-quota category established: wives, children of citizens, learned professionals, and domestic servants not counted in quotas.
1922 Japanese made ineligible for citizenship.
1924 Quotas changed to 2% of each nationality based on numbers in US in 1890. Based on surnames (many anglicized at Ellis Island) and not the census figures, 82% of all immigrants allowed in the country came from western and northern Europe, 16% from southern and eastern Europe, 2% from the rest of the world. As no distinctions were made between refugees and immigrants, this limited Jewish emigres during 1930s and 40s.

Despite protests from many native people, Native Americans made citizens of the United States. Border Patrol established.
1929 The annual quotas of the 1924 Act are made permanent.
1940 Provided for finger printing and registering of all aliens.
1943 In the name of unity among the Allies, the Chinese Exclusion Laws were repealed, and China’s quota was set at a token 105 immigrants annually. Basis of the Bracero Program established with importation of agricultural workers from North, South, and Central America.
1946 Procedures adopted to facilitate immigration of foreign-born wives, finace(e)s, husbands, and children of US armed forces personnel.
1948 Displaced Persons Act allowed 205,000 refugees over two years; gave priority to Baltic States refugees; admitted as quota immigrants. Technical provisions discriminated against Catholics and Jews; those were dropped in 1953, and 205,000 refugees were accepted as non-quota immigrants.
1950 The grounds for exclusion and deportation are expanded. All aliens required to report their addresses annually.
1952 Immigration and Nationality Act eliminated race as a bar to immigration or citizenship. Japan’s quota was set at 185 annually. China’s stayed at 105; other Asian countries were given 100 a piece. Northern and western Europe’s quota was placed at 85% of all immigrants. Tighter restrictions were placed on immigrants coming from British colonies in order to stem the tide of black West Indians entering under Britain’s generous quota. Non-quota class enlarged to include husbands of American women.
1953 The 1948 refugee law expanded to admit 200,000 above the existing limit
1965 Hart-Celler Act abolished national origins quotas, establishing separate ceilings for the eastern (170,000) and western (120,000) hemispheres (combined in 1978). Categories of preference based on family ties, critical skills, artistic excellence, and refugee status.
1978 Separate ceilings for Western and Eastern hemispheric immigration combined into a worldwide limit of 290,000.
1980 The Refugee Act removes refugees as a preference category; reduces worldwide ceiling for immigration to 270,000.
1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act provided for amnesty for many illegal aliens and sanctions for employers hiring illegals.

QUOTES

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Theodore Hesburgh

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Jesus Christ

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
William Shakespeare

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father’s protection.
Sigmund Freud

A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.
Frank A. Clark

It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.
Pope John XXIII

I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father’s equal, and I never loved any other man as much.
Hedy Lamarr

Nothing I’ve ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.
Bill Cosby

To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter.
Euripides

She got her looks from her father. He’s a plastic surgeon.
Groucho Marx

One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
George Herbert

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, ‘You’re tearing up the grass’; ‘We’re not raising grass,’ Dad would reply. ‘We’re raising boys.’
Harmon Killebrew

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.
Friedrich Nietzsche

It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.
Anne Sexton

It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life.
Dawn French

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.
Robert Frost

There’s so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I’ve got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father – and how come that’s not as newsworthy?Will Smith

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
Rodney Dangerfield

Each child is biologically required to have a mother. Fatherhood is a well-regarded theory, but motherhood is a fact. P. J. O’Rourke

Anyone who tells you fatherhood is the greatest thing that can happen to you, they are understating it. Mike Myers

“A father has to be a provider, a teacher, a role model, but most importantly, a distant authority figure who can never be pleased. Otherwise, how will children ever understand the concept of God?”
― Stephen Colbert, I Am America

Before I got married I had six theories about raising children; now, I have six children and no theories.”
― John Wilmot

QUOTES
TONIGHT, WE GO TO THE CONTROVERSIAL IDEAS ABOUT MONEY, POLITICS, AND FAIRNESS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS IS PHIL OCHS: LOVE ME, I’M A LIBERAL. WE SEE INEQUITIES IN LIFE, BUT IF WE ARE WITHOUT, WE WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A BILLIONAIRE, AND IF WE HAVE BILLIONS, WE HOLD ON TO THE MONEY BECAUSE WE (THEY) FEEL ENTITLED TO WHAT WE HAVE ACQUIRED AND JUSTIFY THE MEANS. THE QUOTES AND MUSIC THIS EVENING IS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ANNOYANCE TO ALL LISTENERS. (DISCLAIMER)

The siren song of redistribution of wealth by centralized government never ceases for those who seek irreversible and unusurpable control over the lives and liberties of private citizens.
Josh Jones

Jesus teaches the redistribution of wealth – as long as the transfer is voluntary. But he is adamantly opposed to the involuntary redistribution of wealth, because that violates the moral law of God and is profoundly wrong. His words to take care of the poor are not addressed to government, they are addressed to us.
Bryan Fischer

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
Thomas Jefferson

I believe Social Security is unjust. I think it’s wrong. I think it penalizes responsible people. It penalizes the young and it’s a massive redistribution of wealth.
Yaron Brook
The poor of the world cannot be made rich by the redistribution of wealth. Poverty can’t be eliminated by punishing people who’ve escaped poverty, taking their money and giving it as a reward to people who have failed to escape.
P. J. O’Rourke

How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points? This is a case of exclusion.
Pope Francis

You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world. And I believe that we should not have a C.I.A. that goes around overwhelming governments and assassinating political leaders, working for tight oligarchies around the world to protect the tight oligarchy here at home.
Abbie Hoffman

When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.
Benjamin Franklin

“The alienation, the downright visceral frustration, of the new American ideologues, the bone in their craw, is the unacknowledged fact that America has never been an especially capitalist country. The postal system, the land grant provision for public education, the national park system, the Homestead Act, the graduated income tax, the Social Security system, the G.I. Bill — all of these were and are massive distributions or redistributions of wealth meant to benefit the population at large.”
― Marilynne Robinson

Without some redistribution of wealth and power, downward mobility and debilitating poverty will continue to drive people into desperate channels. And without principled opposition to xenophobias from above and below, these desperate channels will produce a cold-hearted and mean-spirited America no longer worth fighting for or living in.”
― Cornel West

I don’t really have any positive vision of the future, don’t know what kind of world I’d someday like to live in or if it’s even possible to achieve something better than this. I only know that the billionaires are attacking us, again and again taking measures that serve no other purpose than to increase their own wealth and debase all other aspects of life. And when you are attacked you must fight back, in whatever way you can.”
― Jacob Wren,

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples’ money. Margaret Thatcher

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism. Karl Marx

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill

The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive ‘policies’ and ‘Plans’ of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word ‘socialism’, but what else can one call it? H. G. Wells

Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe.
Joe Slovo

In socialism, private property is anathema, and equal distribution of income the first consideration. In capitalism, private property is cardinal, and distribution left to ensue from the play of free contract and selfish interest on that basis, no matter what anomalies it may present. George Bernard Shaw

Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution. Ben Shapiro

Socialism is the ideal state, but it can never be achieved while man is so selfish. Annie Besant

The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism. If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism. Mikhail Gorbache

“I think it’s terrible the way people don’t share things in this country. I think it’s a heartless government that will let one baby be born owning a big piece of the country, the way I was born, and let another baby be born without owning anything. The least a government could do, it seems to me, is to divide things up fairly among the babies.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
RONALD WRIGHT

Socialism is a scareword they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
HARRY S. TRUMAN 1952
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
WINSTON CHURCHILL 1945
It is only when we have renounced our preoccupation with “I,” “me,” “mine,” that we can truly possess the world in which we live. Everything, provided that we regard nothing as property. And not only is everything ours; it is also everybody else’s.
ALDOUS HUXLEY
Our focus should be on making the most of our own lives, regardless of whether we start at the bottom or the top- not on envying the advantages and achievements of others.”
― Yaron Brook, Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality

“The question will arise and arise in your day, though perhaps not fully in mine: Which shall rule — wealth or man? Which shall lead — money or intellect? Who shall fill public stations — educated and patriotic freemen or the feudal serfs of corporate capital?”
― Edward G. Ryan
When a man wants to rob a bank he hides behind a mask, but when a banker wants to rob a man, he hides behind a corporation.”
― V.O. Diedlaff

QUOTES SICKNESS AND HEALTH

The reason many people in our society are miserable, sick, and highly stressed is because of an unhealthy attachment to things they have no control over.
Steve Marabol

Being sick feels like you’re wearing someone else’s glasses.
Megan Boyle

Treat a sick man with the medicine and a sad man with the music.
Amit Kalantri

Physical ills are the taxes laid upon this wretched life; some are taxed higher, and some lower, but all pay something.
Lord Chesterfield

Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to goodness and wisdom we only make promises; pain we obey.
Marcel Proust

The most important thing when ill, is to never lose heart.
Lenin (Vladimir Ulyanov)

There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.
Henry David Thoreau

Even when I’m sick and depressed, I love life.
Arthur Rubinstein

The treatment is really a cooperative of a trinity–the patient, the doctor and the inner doctor.
Ralph Bircher

If just knowing that someone cares about you helps the healing process…then you should be feeling better already.
unknown

Try not to get overwhelmed by the full scope of your recovery instead look at it one day at a time. Right now you just have to get through today, when that seems impossible know that I’m just a phone call away.
unknown

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
Orison Swett Marden

The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin.
Oscar Wilde
The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
Friedrich Nietzsche

A healthy body is a guest chamber for the soul: a sick body is a prison
Francis Bacon, Sr.
A sad soul can kill you quicker than a germ
John Steinbeck

Sickness comes on horseback but departs on foot
Dutch Proverb

Sometimes I get the feeling that aspirin companies are sponsoring my headaches
Terri Guillemets

It takes more than just a good looking body. You’ve got to have the heart and soul to go with it
Epictetus.

I wonder why you can always read a doctor’s bill and you can never read his prescription.
Finley Peter Dunne
The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.
Voltaire
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Henry David Thoreau
That’s the thing about pain. It demands to be felt.
John Green

In the beginning, when I first found out I had a disease that was incurable, emotionally I had to get used to the idea of being sick before I could think about making any other major decisions in my life.
Karen Duffy
A faithful friend is the medicine of life.
Bible
Always laugh when you can…it is a cheap medicine.
Lord Byron

QUOTES:

What is true of every member of the society, individually, is true of them all collectively; since the rights of the whole can be no more than the sum of the rights of the individuals.

Thomas Jefferson

community is democratic only when the humblest and weakest person can enjoy the highest civil, economic, and social rights that the biggest and most powerful possess.

A Philip Randolph

“The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.”
― Stephen Hawking

“Part of the problem with the word ‘disabilities’ is that it immediately suggests an inability to see or hear or walk or do other things that many of us take for granted. But what of people who can’t feel? Or talk about their feelings? Or manage their feelings in constructive ways? What of people who aren’t able to form close and strong relationships? And people who cannot find fulfillment in their lives, or those who have lost hope, who live in disappointment and bitterness and find in life no joy, no love? These, it seems to me, are the real disabilities.”
― Fred Rogers

“It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me…if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me…”
― Helen Keller,

“I choose not to place “DIS”, in my ability.”
― Robert M. Hensel

“At the cross, Jesus subjects himself to disability, and his resurrected body continues to bear his scars as a sign of God’s solidarity with humanity.”
― Thomas E. Reynolds

We are a society that treats people with disabilities with condescension and pity, not dignity and respect.”
― Stella Young

The hyping of disabled athletes into superhuman status by Channel 4 only deepens our wounds, inflicted by continual assaults on our daily lives. It truly seems that the only acceptable disabled person is a Paralympian – and then only for a few weeks.”
― Penny Pepper

“Whether someone is useful only matters if you value people by their use.”
― Corinne Duyvis, On the Edge of Gone

Theres a remarkable amount of strength residing in those who move forward without being able to physically move. Ones that carry the weight of illness or a disability, they battle wars most know nothing about. They are the true warriors of the world, the ones who have every reason to quit but never do.”
― Nikki Rowe

“Choosing to accept yourself is a political act. An act of liberation.”
― Francesca Martínez,

“My ability is greater than my disability.”
― Nikki Rowe

“For a long time I spent my weary days in a fog of what might be and what has been and I guess you could say im still learning how to accept what is.”
― Nikki Rowe

“Nobody can see pain. They have no frame of reference for pain that’s happening to someone else. They can only see inactivity – which they interpret as laziness.”
― Elizabeth Haynes,

“There are two kinds of ‘disabled’ persons: Those who dwell on what they have lost and those who concentrate on what they have left.”
― Thomas Szasz

“How strange it is that people of honest feelings and sensibility, who would not take advantage of a man born without arms or legs or eyes—how such people think nothing of abusing a man born with low intelligence.”
― Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon

A troubled life beats having no life at all”
― Richard M. Cohen,

It is an awful thing to be betrayed by your body. And it’s lonely, because you feel you can’t talk about it. You feel it’s something between you and the body. You feel it’s a battle you will never win . . . and yet you fight it day after day, and it wears you down. Even if you try to ignore it, the energy it takes to ignore it will exhaust you.”
― David Levithan, Every Day

Sometimes, it is true, a sense of isolation enfolds me like a cold mist as I sit alone and wait at life’s shut gate. Beyond there is light, and music, and sweet companionship; but I may not enter. Fate, silent, pitiless, bars the way…Silence sits immense upon my soul. Then comes hope with a smile and whispers, ‘there is joy is self-forgetfulness.’ So I try to make the light in others’ eyes my sun, the music in others; ears my symphony, the smile on others’ lips my happiness.”
― Helen Keller, The Open Door

“If you are disabled, it is probably not your fault, but it is no good blaming the world or expecting it to take pity on you. One has to have a positive attitude and must make the best of the situation that one finds oneself in; if one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically disabled as well. In my opinion, one should concentrate on activities in which one’s physical disability will not present a serious handicap. I am afraid that Olympic Games for the disabled do not appeal to me, but it is easy for me to say that because I never liked athletics anyway. On the other hand, science is a very good area for disabled people because it goes on mainly in the mind. Of course, most kinds of experimental work are probably ruled out for most such people, but theoretical work is almost ideal. My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in. I have managed, however, only because of the large amount of help I have received from my wife, children, colleagues and students. I find that people in general are very ready to help, but you should encourage them to feel that their efforts to aid you are worthwhile by doing as well as you possibly can.”
― Stephen Hawking

QUOTES AND CONTEXT

15TH CENTURY EUROPE DID NOT SEND AMERICA THEIR BEST…

TRUE RESIDENTS (NON IMMIGRANTS) OF THE USA:

POLICY OF ANNIHILATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE BY BREAKING TREATIES, INTENTIONAL GENOCIDE, AND DECIMATION OF THE AMERICAN BUFFALO.

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE WERE APPLIED TO GET INDIANS ASSIMILATED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ANNIHILATION.

VIOLATION OF TREATIES WENT ON FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. IT WAS SEEN AS A CHRISTIAN RIGHT TO ACHIEVE MANIFEST DESTINY.

MASSACRES SUCH AS WOUNDED KNEE ABOUND IN NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY STARTED WITH CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. AMERICAN MILITARY REWARDED THEMSELVES FOR KILLING INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. OUR CONGRESS KEPT PASSING DECREES TO BREAK TREATIES OVER HUNDREDS OF YEARS AND SEIZING LANDS EVEN IF THERE WERE TREATIES SUPPOSEDLY PROTECTING NATIVE AMERICAN RIGHTS. CHILDREN WERE TAKEN FROM FAMILIES SYSTEMATICALLY TO HAVE THEM ASSIMILATED INTO WHITE CHRISTIAN CULTURE. LAND PROMISED TO NATIVE AMERICANS WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BY LAW AND SOLD TO WHITE PEOPLE.
EVEN THE PORTRAYAL OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN HOLLYWOOD MOVIES UP UNTIL THE LAST 50 YEARS WAS THAT AS SAVAGES.
EVEN AS LATE AS LAST YEAR, MR. TRUMP HONORED CODE TALKERS IN FRONT OF A PAINTING OF ANDREW JACKSON, A PRESIDENT WELL KNOWN FOR ENCOURAGING DECIMATION OF NATIVE AMERICANS FOR MANIFEST DESTINY.
IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY, A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OF STERILIZATION OF THE LAKOTA TRIBES TOOK PLACE.
LAND WAS TAKEN FROM NATIVE AMERICANS WAS PROCLAIMED ILLEGAL BY THE SUPREME COURT, BUT INSTEAD OF GIVING IT BACK, MONEY WAS OFFERED TO THE TRIBES. THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES REFUSED THE MONEY.

WOUNDED KNEE BRIEF HISTORY:

Wounded Knee, located on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota, was the site of two conflicts between North American Indians and representatives of the U.S. government. An 1890 massacre left some 150 Native Americans dead, in what was the final clash between federal troops and the Sioux. In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied Wounded Knee for 71 days to protest conditions on the reservation.

In the end, there is no absence of irony: the integrity of what is sacred to Native Americans will be determined by the government that has been responsible for doing everything in its power to destroy Native American cultures. Winona LaDuke

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans. Stephen Hawking

The name ‘reservation’ has a negative connotation among Native Americans – an intern camp of sorts. John Russell

I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I’m American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country. Nicolas Cage

Every president since Nixon has embraced a policy of ‘self-determination without termination’ – the idea that Native Americans are best equipped to govern themselves. Trump is breaking with this position. Tom Perez

It’s striking that Native Americans evolved no devastating epidemic diseases to give to Europeans, in return for the many devastating epidemic diseases that Indians received from the Old World. Jared Diamond

A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.”
― George Bernard Shaw

Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government
take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”
― Henry Ford

“The white people always want to fight someone and they always get the dark-skinned people to do the fighting.”
― Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

“If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.”

“Near the day of Purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky.”

“A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans.”
― Native American Prophecies

“Understand indigenous healing will also heal other nations and peoples. We’ve all been living on broken ugly systems built on genocide and slavery. Strengthening and empowering others, in whatever capacity, also helps the self.”
― Red Haircrow

“It’s a widely accepted principle,’ he says, ‘that you can claim a piece of land which has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, if only you repeat this mantra endlessly: ‘We discovered it, we discovered it, we discovered it….”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Deadeye Dick

“[T]he gradual extension of our settlements will as certainly cause the savage, as the wolf, to retire; both being beasts of prey, though they differ in shape.”
― George Washington,

“Nothing, however, bemused the Indians more than the European habit of blowing their noses into a fine handkerchief, folding it carefully, and placing it back in their pockets as if it were a treasured memento.”
― Bill Bryson

“Isn’t it amazing that, historically, the “Prince of Peace” has most often been introduced to new cultures through extreme violence? European and American colonialists bring this disparity to light in a way that makes me wish that forced conversion didn’t work so extraordinarily well.”
― David G. McAfee

“After my sister Sandra was born the doctors there per formed a hysterectomy on my mother, in fact sterilizing her without her permission, which was common at the time, and up to just a few years ago, so that it is hardly worth mentioning. In the opinion of some people, the fewer Indians there are, the better. As Colonel Chivington said to his soldiers: “Kill ’em all, big and small, nits make lice!”
― Mary Crow Dog

“In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in America, discovered they were naked, discovered that the Sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a King and Kingdom from another world and a God from another sky, and that this God had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the Sun the Moon the Earth and the Rain that wets it.”
― Eduardo Galeano

“Garry Owen” is an old Irish quick-step that can be traced back to the 1800s. it is known to have been used by Irish regiments as a drinking song. So the story goes, one of the Irish “melting pot” members of the 7th was singing the song under the influence of spirits, and Custer happened by, liked the cadence, and soon began to hum the tune himself. It was the last song played by the band for Custer’s men as they left the Terry column at the Rosebud River and rode into infamy.
