When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it–always.

okay i'll play ~ this is from barbra streisand's concert (available on dvd) "one voice" (which if i ever reach enough posts will be my title under my name, am i able to bribe a mod or admin to have it changed now?)

it's actually about chernobyl and altho i could never find the actual words on the internet, i copied the whole thing out because well i think i've heard it enough to have them almost memorized anyways. here is a small part of barbra speaking . . .

"...What a beautiful night isn’t it? The smell, the crickets. It worries me that we’re tampering with what took 380 million years to create. We’re being reckless with the whole miraculous balance of nature. But I have great faith in people. I believe that if they’re told, if they understand what’s at stake, they will make a change. They always have. Weather it was the civil rights movement, the women’s movement or the Vietnam War. When the clear voice of the people is heard it has always changed the course of history. And so this is for you. You who have the opportunity to raise your voices and do it again. The future is in your hands."

As much as I poke fun at religion, and christianity in particular, I'm extremely proud of the Gospel tradition I'm a product of.

"Keep Your Hand on the Plow (Hold on)" is an old Spiritual dating back to...nobody really knows. It was set by such Spirituals luminaries as Jester Hairston (seen here in the "slap heard around the world" -- he's the one carrying the trays) and Moses Hogan.

Civil Rights singers became well known for taking old Spirituals and changing the lyrics to fit the moment, or the zeitgeist, for moments exactly such as these.

The completely metaphorical "Keep Your Hand on the Plow" was used as the basis for the better-known phrase, "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize".

Here's a version of KYHOTP by two of the greatest names in not only "black music" but American Music, period: Mahalia Jackson and Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival, 1958.

Well theyre putting up resistance but I know that my faith will lead me on

Anyway

"People quite often are unreasonable, illogical, and self centered. Love them anyway!

If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. do good anyway!

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies. succeed anyway!

The good you do today will be forgotten tommorow. do good anyway!

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. be honest and frank anyway!

The Biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds. think big anyways!

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs. fight for some underdogs anyway!

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. build anyway!

People really need help, but may attack you if you help them. help them anyway!

Give the world the best you got and you might get kicked in the teeth. give the world the best you got anyway!"

The Grandmothers' October Message

I asked the Grandmothers for a message of universal import, a timely message for everyone living on earth. And as soon as I asked, I saw the Net of Light and underneath the Net lay a map of the world. It was a strange sort of map- nothing like anything I'd seen before. A picture of pathways and cross-currents, a map of earth's connections. With a sudden flash of light millions of pathways, roadways, and waterways lit up. These underlay the Net of Light, and connected everyone and everything to everything else. "We are one world," I marveled as I stared at the structure of lighted ways. "WE are one world," I repeated as I saw that what we are trained to see as boundaries, frontiers and demarcation lines on the world map are actually artificial. Each of them is man-made and was created at some time in the past to divide us, not unite us.

"The time for division is over," the Grandmothers said. "Now is the time for union. This is what you have all been waiting for," they smiled and nodded. "Many of you have looked forward to this for many years. You call this the Golden Age, but in actuality it is the time of unicity. Oneness," they said. "It is time to return to oneness. This is the truth," they said and fixed me with a penetrating look.

"During the period of transition from the old way to the new you will be tested over and over again," they said. "There are those living now who are in opposition and resistance to the times that are approaching. They will seek to control you. Not everyone will welcome the Golden Age. At least not at first," they said and nodded to one another. "People like these seek control," they said and then they began to laugh. Chuckling at first, they quickly broke into gales of rolling laughter, slapped one another on the back and finally collapsed into a pile of flailing arms and bobbing heads. They were so undone by this moment of hilarity that as I watched them, them, I picked up their mood and giggled along with them. The image of puny human beings trying to control the will of the universe had put the Grandmothers in stitches. But at last they wiped their eyes, shook their heads and as they got their breath, said, "The times of domination are over.

"Your job now is to stay awake," they said and eyed me fiercely. "Stay awake and tune your dial to truth," they said. "We have mentioned that many will seek to control you at this time. This is true. Therefore it is your job to listen to your inner guidance and not be swayed by attempts to persuade you to follow someone else. Stay tuned to truth. Listen within and trust your body," they said. "Your body knows a lie when it hears one. You will feel warm and open whenever you are in the presence of truth. And in the presence of untruth you will find yourself hardening and contracting. Many times in the past we have encouraged you to trust your body, and we remind you now of how important that is.

"And most of all," the Grandmothers said, and here they stopped and stared at me over the tops of their noses, "Stay away from those who peddle fear. These people seek to set you one against another. They try to divide you, to convince you that the 'other one,' the 'different one' is your enemy. They set race against race, class against class, and culture against culture. They try to control with religion and clannish beliefs, and always they use fear to dominate. They will use anything at their disposal now to try to take control of you and of your world. And as the era of domination comes to a close, they are getting truly desperate. Watch out for them," they said and narrowed their eyes. "This is your job. Stay awake," they repeated. "Yes, Grandmothers," I gulped, my eyes wide.

"We are guarding you," they said. "We are guarding the entire earth at this time. So do not be afraid," they said. "Everything is evolving the way it must. Trust in us," they said, "call on us, and keep your eyes open. It is true," they said, "that you were born for these times."

As this illustrates, the struggle is as old as civilization and continues. Listen, take heed and place yourself in the generations of patriots.

Trying to bolster their argument, one of our lesser informed posters from the right(wrong!) pointed out that Sammy Hagar is a conservative who rocks. While this is true I found some interesting things in association with this fact.

Hagar on his presidential choice - ”I vote for the man, not the party,”

Hagar on McCain's use of Van Halen's "Right Now" in his campaign - “I got goosebumps from it — my fur went up,” says the band’s ex-frontman, Sammy Hagar, who co-wrote and sang the song — and said he’d be “just as happy” if Obama played it. “I was honored that a potential president of the United States used those words in a positive sense, like, ‘We gotta act now!’ ”

Very well, Sammy. Van Halen was a big part of my youth so I'm happy to oblige.
