Never Forget – Niemals Vergessen
Monument memorializing the victims of the Gestapo. Vienna, Austria.
“Never Forget / Niemals vergessen – The headquarters of the Gestapo stood here. For those who believed in Austria, it was the entrance to Hell. It sank in ruins like the Thousand-year Reich, but Austria was resurrected and with her, our dead, the immortal victims.”
A reminder of how fast things can change.

Today’s Quote – 2007.10.12
“Congratulations to Al Gore. The Nobel Peace Prize rewards three decades of Vice President Gore’s prescient and compelling — and often lonely — advocacy for the future of the Earth. His leadership stands in stunning contrast to the failure of the current administration to pursue policies that would reduce the harm of global warming.
The Nobel Committee’s recognition of Vice President Gore shines a bright light on the most inconvenient truth of all — the selection of George Bush as president has endangered the peace and prosperity of the entire planet.
Two terms later, Americans are ready for bold change, ready to be patriotic about something other than war and ready to take action to stop global warming before it’s too late. The stakes are sky-high — as Al Gore predicted, our Earth is in the balance.”
—John Edwards

Today’s Quote – 2007.10.02
“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that the people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”
