"...Surely many see their own cultures beliefs,
traditions, or values as the penultimate of civilization, and those who
seek to challenge them to be misguided or deranged at best, criminals or
subversives at worst. To the extent where an individuals desire for social
change leads them to commit criminal acts, whether in the interest of advancing
or publicizing such views or viewpoints, or whether simply trying to live
their lives on their own terms regardless of what they consider oppressive
restrictions, they are most certainly, by definition anyway, criminal or
subversive. When their values are too far apart from members of their own
society and they provide a source of constant irritation to those who provide
the structure of passing on the cultures or societies values from one generation
to the next, when seen in this light, people of such views are misguided
and deranged in some way. However to whatever degree we deem our present
societies to be fair, good, or just, we owe to those who once were seen
as such. We like to think we know which values we hold will be embraced
by future generations as being the one to measure the value of such distention
now, which may be seen in a different or nobler light by those yet to come
but it would be guessing at best. Just as those generations gone by might
hold our present civilizations as morally decrepit for such things as open
adultery and not uncommon divorce, we judge their moral shortcomings in
regards to race or gender relations..." 2000

"Many still believe in a two-tracked world. It is O.K. for others to be enslaved if some will live free. It is fine for some populaces to be manipulated so long as others have free will. Once applying that standard to other nations and regions invariably it is applied within. Treachery done for the sake of honor, injustice done when the cause is just, lying to preserve a greater truth. Of these inconsistencies no nation or people are blameless, no hands are clean. The more we try to have it both ways, the more the truth will escape unseen, unnoticed and will become despised by all who think the truth of what we are and what we do matters not to how we see ourselves ... History can be our judge only if in the end the truths come out and one day are known. A factual record of what we did and said, on so many levels too much to hope for and have done without biases, will matter more than what we thought we were doing or what we believed we were achieving. Those who keep the future in mind, those who believe future generations will one day see through our lies and misrepresentations, our manipulations of others opinions to validate what we should not be doing, what could never withstand open and universal scrutiny, who will have only what we have done to speak for who we were. How then would we look to them, how much could we account for ourselves and for our actions, and how often did we convince ourselves we did not do what we did, did not say what we meant, and "conveniently" could not see ourselves for what we were." 2001

"What one is is shaped, molded, contrived, and created
from what those and that in ones environment wish it to be. One is also
what one brings to the equation, the unique combination of potential and
possibilities and the many ways of feigning compliance with what one is
demanded to be. To see that these seemingly divergent forces, one's environment
shaping one to suit its needs, and the aims of the individual to rise above
just being a mere product of one's environment and chart a new and radically
different plan for oneself and ones society, that these are both the same
thing, both different aspects of oneself played out against oneself. This
is to see beyond the self to a more dynamic view of existence ...
