 Share This- New Nationalism Speech by Theodore Roosevelt
 Jun 28, 1:37pm  (1 review) history, politics, human-rights http://teachingamericanhistory.org/libra...- ""One of the chief factors in progress is the destruction of special privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has always been, and must always be, to take from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or position, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to his or their fellows. That is what you fought for in the Civil War, and that is what we strive for now.
At many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress. In our day it appears as the struggle of freemen to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will. At every stage, and under all circumstances, the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth. That is nothing new. All I ask in civil life is what you fought for in the Civil War."

- Chögyam Trungpa
- Jun 27, 1:48pm (2 reviews) buddhism http://www.wordtrade.com/religion/buddhi...
- "Chogyam Trungpa never wanted his students to become Tibetan. He believed that when Buddhism is transmitted to the West, it should give rise to a Western Buddhism, and this could only occur after profound reflection about the language and the culture in which the dharma could be established. Such was the huge task that Chogyam Trungpa undertook by immersing himself in the Western world. As he himself explained, be-coming a Buddhist is not a matter of trying to live up to what you would like to be, but an attempt to be what you are: "This possibility is connected with seeing our confusion, or misery and pain, but not making these discoveries into an answer. Instead we explore further and further and further without looking for an answer. It is a process of working with ourselves, with our lives, with our psychology, without looking for an answer but seeing things as they are --"seeing what goes on in our heads directly and simply, absolutely literally. If we can undertake a process like that, then there is a tremendous possibility that our confusion -- the chaos and neurosis that goes on in our minds -- might become a further basis for investigation:"
