Displaying 181 To 210 Of 271 Comments The Weekend Music Thread-Come Rain or Come Shine It had been so long I had forgotten. Thank you gentle friend monicaangela. You are a treasure of humanity. Rest well. “I hope you will advance all the truth you discover.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 8:29 pm You just tore a hole in my heart gentle friend KillgoreTrout. “Simple truths are the most disturbing.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 8:22 pm I did gentle friend KillgoreTrout. And as you said, the conscience of the world was stunned, and they were thankfully released. It seems there still is a power of good, and most of humanity wields it. “There just aren’t that many people who are cruel.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 8:03 pm And that is the only truth that will endure gentle friend KillgoreTrout. All others will crumble under the weight of their own inhumanity. “Take care for those suffering upon the land, draining wounds on the ground, and bearing children in the dirt.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 7:56 pm For hearts of love so broken that nothing else matters. I wish I could heal you. But I am not time.
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 7:52 pm Thank you for already pledging some of yours gentle friend monicaangela. “Compassion is contagious.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 7:32 pm Gentle friend KillgoreTrout, and that is thanks to you. You have created an environment where everyone can “let their hair down”, relax, and get to know each other in a non-controversial atmosphere. With music as the transcending attraction. And I can only say, it seems to have been brilliantly planned, and brilliantly executed. To the benefit of all of us. Thank you. “So many who care, against few who do not.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 7:28 pm “Gentle friends let’s pledge our lives to making others happy. And when they are happy, we will be happy too.” A Future of the Brave
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 7:13 pm And what happens when we party gentle friends? Most often than not we understand more. And hate less. Though it might take a day longer than expected to get wherever we were going … 🙂 Here is “Too High to get it Right”, by Accept.
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 6:51 pm Gentle friend KillgoreTrout, I hope more would than would not. My life has been tears, interspersed with momentary relief and hope. And I’m still pushing for hope. I have walked in many shoes. “I still perceive only injustice. For the most deserving of humanity.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 6:30 pm Hope gentle friends. It’s easier said than done. EDIT: The video is supposed to go to 39 minutes and 40 seconds, and I can’t seem to fix it. Has anyone got any ideas? I didn’t want to post the whole album (even though it is awesome). Sorry about that.
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 6:08 pm A gentle touch from a gentle friend. Thank you monicaangela. “Do not forget to cherish a simple sunset, and the warmth of a hand held within your own.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 5:56 pm Hilarious gentle friend Nirek. As a brave Scotsman I can only say that I would drink them all under the table. But regret it so much in the morning we could only have contests every five years … 🙂 “I can imagine our children playing together.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 5:42 pm That made me cry gentle friend KillgoreTrout. Thank you. “I believe misunderstanding, apprehension, and suspicion have transcended generations.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 5:36 pm “Children are our saints.” A Future of the Brave
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 5:24 pm For all of us gentle friends. Compassion.
» Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 4:27 pm No Longer Lost: Finding a New Home at Daily Kos and PlanetPOV I just realized that a few minutes ago, thank you gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. “I hope we can awaken from such a long nightmare.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 12, 2014 @ 4:13 pm Thank you for all your hard work gentle friend MurphTheSurf3. “I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 12, 2014 @ 3:16 pm The Republican Encyclopedia of Hindsight Deals Indeed gentle friend RSGmusic. And that is the most important agreement. “Compassion is humanities most common request.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 15, 2014 @ 6:16 pm “Truth is defined by the weakest of us who must suffer through it.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 11, 2014 @ 5:00 pm Indeed gentle friend AdLib, well spoken. Thank you for your compassion. “Compassion will save us. Greed will not.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 11, 2014 @ 1:48 pm “They believed that every life must profit them. When life was profit itself.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 10, 2014 @ 8:54 pm Gentle friend RSGmusic, please see my answer to a similar question you asked a few posts above. The question was: “OH please St what has the dems done to change the Constitution? Be specific as to what part they have changed.” I have the same answer for this post. It’s very long though, and I didn’t want to waste blog resources by posting it again so soon. “Who needs justice, when you have power and can do evil at will.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 4:00 pm Gentle friend RSGmusic, we have lost the right to habeas corpus, and the right against unreasonable searches and seizures, and privacy. We have lost our freedom. “Fellow citizens, a moment of silence for the Fourth Amendment of The Constitution of the United States of America. It went far before it’s time, and unconstitutionally. Here were its last words: ‘The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.'” “Today, in America, a finger can simply be pointed at you, declaring you an enemy combatant. And you are stripped of all human rights. To be incarcerated indefinitely in a secret prison without charge or representation, where torture and murder have been institutionalized. And for those Americans who think they are exempt, and don’t care about foreign citizens or their rights as human beings, think again. You may have heard the term ‘Habeas Corpus’ tossed around a lot lately, and heard that we have lost the right to it, but do you know what that means? It means that you no longer have the right to be brought before an impartial judge to protest your imprisonment, or provide evidence that the charges against you are false. For example, if an executive authority secretly imprisons an American citizen they don’t like they can simply claim they were an Afghani national caught on the battlefield of Iraq, even if they were actually a loyal citizen living in Boston who was illegally abducted at the mall while shopping. And since you no longer have the right to Habeas Corpus you will never have a chance of the truth being told, and will be at the mercy of the executive branch of government for what remains of your lives.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 3:42 pm Gentle fiend RSGmusic, I agree, and that is indeed what I said. There would be no money, only compassion would be of value. “Compassion requires the greatest strength of all.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 14, 2014 @ 3:29 pm RSGmusic, you seem to follow compassion. Or perhaps compassion follows you. “If I were God compassion would be money.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 13, 2014 @ 8:17 pm Thank you gentle friend Dimbulb2, and I understand your pessimism. But even though I consider myself a realist as well, the truth I’ve observed is that it is hope that has sustained and saved humanity. If the compassionate had given up to raw numbers and odds, at many times throughout history, we would not remain. Gentle friend, you have not failed until you have surrendered. “Tears are the rain of compassion.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 13, 2014 @ 8:11 pm Gentle friend KillgoreTrout, We start by minimizing desperation. And then offering real hope, for all of humanity. That is why the “Grand Challenge” is so important. Imagine tangible international agreements that committed to a change from endless war, to a cooperative future that would benefit everyone. And bound all member governments to basic human rights, and basic human sustenance. Backed by a global campaign to advance the Grand Challenge agreed upon. It would appeal to almost everyone, from humanitarians to capitalists. And could save us all. Or we can just keep stumbling along, hoping that chance will save us. “The only war left is between greed and humanity.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 13, 2014 @ 8:00 pm Thank you gentle friend funksands, but there has never been a website that would allow me to speak at length. That thanks belongs to PlanetPOV, and their founders and administration. Decades ago I found that the shorter the message, the more who would listen. And I’ve spent most of my life crafting short messages of, hopefully, compelling truth. And I agree with you about the Military Industrial Complex. Eisenhower was wise, and as it turns out, many years ahead of his time. And cynicism and apathy are a plague that surrenders all. “How shall we lead? As we have followed.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 12, 2014 @ 9:43 pm Gentle friend KillgoreTrout, this is how societies are lost, one principle at a time. “Torture is not confusing at all. The stench of the vomit and blood and urine and feces expelled by its victims, and their wrenching cries for mercy or death, are clear evidence that abomination is working its evil will. No one can deny, or claim ignorance, of its stain. And its stain upon America will never be erased. There are some things that you can never take back.” A Future of the Brave » Posted By SearingTruth On June 12, 2014 @ 9:06 pmComments Posted By SearingTruth
