| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Inaugural Address by John F. Kennedy: We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view.
But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their
own freedom. . .and to remember that. . .in the past. . .those who
foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe
struggling to break the bonds of mass misery: we pledge our best
efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period
is required. . .not because the Communists may be doing it,

The CREATOR, hate they most, him who breaketh the tables and old values,
the breaker,--him they call the law-breaker.
Thus Spake Zarathustra |
