Steve Jobs famously said:

"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other opinions drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Unfortunately, one of the evils of modern technology is the advantage some "Geobellians" take to influence the thinking of others through mass media and the ability to reach millions at an instant. Whenever I turn to FOX News, I hear them saying that America is coming to an end. And unfortunately, there are these so called illiterate Americans who just fall for it.

American democracy is a failed one. Nothing is moving in DC. Now look at Israel. They are born from true persecution. They know how precious it is to be free. They know they have to come together to remain alive as a nation and a race. It is the same with another democracy, India. But unfortunately, we in America have forgotten what it is to get away from persecution and freedom curtailment. I hope folks realize this soon. Otherwise, we will go Germany's way, the way it did under Hitler. We are already seeing the unrest by way of these whistleblowers (by the way not the NFL. NBA ones). And those folks in DC better start listening to us instead of listening to what is happening in Syria and Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan etc.

Just a few thoughts from the East Bay on this fine morning on a Tuesday.
