Re: "When Bill decried Times Magazine's cover photo of the Dixie Chicks and said that Time would never place a far right person on its cover despite the fact that Ann Coulter whose only claim to fame is being far right, was the mag's cover girl just last year, Bill stood firm. Why? Because only a poltroon lets facts get in the way of a good Talking Point Memo." CLASSIC O'Reilly! Perhaps this is where S. Colbert came up with his new word 'truthiness'? (Meaning: truth is whatever I believe it to be... not what the facts say.)

Eliminate perspective and all that remains is infinite. The texture of humanity is bound by living well and being well as one amongst others, at the expense of none. Our future lies within the dwindling flicker of hope that we can fan the flames of liberty while simultaneously and absolutely extinguishing brutality. It is essentially a struggle, since our existence may at times commemorate virtue and honor, while simultaneously being provoked by base and vile injustices. We must claim autonomy, direction, and responsibility for the condition of a unique soul, while maintaining a universal obligation toward our relationship with the one and the many of creation. Beneath the lamp of natural human nobility there is no darkness. Freedom of conscience maintains the delicate balance between responsibility for the care of one's fellows and the freedom from oppression by one's fellows; a balance we should all seek individually and on behalf of one another. Any violation of this principle is a violation of Peace, Justice and the Liberty to live as a noble human being. Any such violation must be opposed, beginning at your heart and continuing by word and deed as necessary, lest you forgo your membership as noble human being, and deservedly become one of the forlorn and oppressed.
