- Amistad Africans – Supreme Court Trial 1841 - President John Quincy Adam - “The truth, in truth, has been driven from this case like a SLAVE, flogged from court to court, wretched and destitute…a ‘keen mind of the SOUTH,’ … asserts that: ‘There has never existed a civilized society in which one segment did not thrive upon the labor of another. As far back as one chooses to look – to ancient times, to BIBLICAL times – history bears this out. In Eden, where only two were created, even there, one was pronounced subordinate to the other. SLAVERY has always been with us and is neither sinful nor immoral… SLAVERY, as NATURAL as it is inevitable.’ ’ …I must say I DIFFER with the keen minds of the SOUTH…offering that the NATURAL STATE OF MANKIND is, instead – and I know this is a controversial idea – IS FREEDOM, is freedom. And the proof is the length to which a man, woman, or child will go to regain it, once taken. He will break loose his chains. He will decimate his enemies. He will try and try and try AGAINST ALL ODDS, against all prejudices, to get home…Yet, if the SOUTH is right, what are we to do with that embarrassing, annoying document, The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE? What of its conceits? ‘ALL MEN…CREATED EQUAL,’ ‘INALIENABLE RIGHTS,’ ‘LIFE,’ ‘LIBERTY,’ and so on and so forth? …We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war, then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.

- JK ROWLAND - The Fringe Benefits of Failure, and the IMPORTANCE OF IMAGINATION – “…many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know… those who choose not to empathise enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.” JK ROWLAND - Harvard University – 60508 - video

- Is Benedict XVI Opposition to Gay Marriage – a way to Avoid Blame for his 3 decades of child sexual abuse cover-ups? - What would happen “…if BENEDICT XVI admitted the truth about HOMOSEXUALITY that it is NOT evil or intrinsically disordered, then the issue of the finger of blame for the DECADES OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE would fall directly onto Benedict XVI - because he ordered the SECRECY and the COVER-UPS… Try to imagine the number of lawsuits that would be aimed at Benedict XVI globally and how much money would this amount to? …This would clearly seem to be an extremely powerful motivation to lie about homosexual orientation [and to Obsessively Oppose GAY MARRIAGE].” 30412
