QUOTE A DAY
"Words That Inspire, Provoke and Entertain"
Tuesday Oct. 23, 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
Friends... and after so many years, many of you have become
just that. We have been through much. Saturday, my middle
son was accepted at his first choice of school for college.
And he received a partial scholarship based upon his
academic record. I am so proud, I am bursting at the seams.
This week's theme is "Conscience" and I sense something
very wrong is going on with our country. Did you know that
certain police departments are being trained by Blackwater
mercenaries?
In response to last week's featured video, V. Jackson sent
me this note:
5-Year-Black Girl Handcuffed By Police
http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=7562
--This video is over 2 years old, and is taken out of
context. No, it's not racism, unless the child's black
teacher is a racist for calling the cops after attempts
by school officials to quell this child's tantrums were
to no avail, and her mother was unavailable to pick her
up for at least an hour after the school contacted her.
It's the school's duty to provide a safe environment to
not only the students, but the staff as well. If you
don't think a 5 yr. old can hurt anyone, tell that to
the family of the student who was shot by a fellow
kindergartener. Here's the rest of Desre'e Watson's
story:
ABC News: Police Handcuff 5-Year-Old After Tantrum
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=694504
BBC NEWS | Americas | US police handcuff five-year-old
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4475513.stm
I hope you share this information with your readers, JA...
I've come to expect more from you than a link that is
irresponsibly misleading and sensational. V.l Jackson--
I can only say that there can be no justification for hand-
cuffing a 5-year-old girl. I am ashamed that any reader
would invent propose the nationwide curse F-E-A-R that
V. Jackson does when they bring up a child shooting some-
one. Not only is that irrelevant since the 5-year-old had
no gun, it is so preposterous that they handcuffed her
because they were AFRAID.
Yes dear readers, something is wrong with our nation. In
Maine they want to give birth control to 11 year old girls
without parental permission. If handcuffing little girls
becomes permissible, then this mindset will also accept
torture and ORDER AT ALL COSTS. ORDER..ORDER...ORDER.
We enter into a Brave New World. Visit the video and the
one featured. Please comment on the video on EVTV1 and
discuss so the entire group can read.
Best,
JA

On some positions,
Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?'
Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?'
And Vanity comes along and asks the question,
'Is it popular?'
But Conscience asks the question 'Is it right?'
And there comes a time when one must take a position that
is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do
it because Conscience tells him it is right.
-- Martin Luther King

Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does.
--Josh Billings (1856-1950) Irish playwright
------------------------------------------------------------
Courage without conscience is a wild beast.
--Robert Ingersoll (1833-1899) American philosopher &
orator
