The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy. - Alex Carey

I just came across this wonderful quote in a sports magazine I found near the highway:

Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.
- Vince Lombardi

Simple quote, innumerable implications. Especially if we think of our daily routines as practice.

[ note from Kim: Do you ever get the idea that we don’t know what we are practicing for? ]

[ Bunny: I think most of us are so busy that we can’t afford to try to achieve anything. Especially anything ‘big’. ]

[ pinky: Do you think people ever shy away from trying to achieve something simply because it sounds too wonderful? ]

[ Bunny: I think so. I think it happens all the time. ]

Here’s an excerpt from a short article on Norman Solomon by Steve Duin:

“The culture has diluted people’s resolve, their outrage. The mass-market culture has left us numb. And lack of feeling translates into lack of action. [This is] the freezing of love into small spaces.” There is no end to our love for our children or claustrophobic circle of friends. “We say, ‘Don’t mess with my loved ones, but screw the people across the street or around the world.’ Unfortunately, we define our loved ones rather narrowly.” - Norman Solomon

[ note from Bunny: This relates to some of the points I was trying to make near the end of our Matrix conversation. ]

[ pinky: Yeah, I thought of you when I saw this. Thanks for mentioning. ]
