Marvellously inspiring post, Oceans Flow; thank you much!
 QUOTE (Peter Gabriel) In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, Ive changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Don't give up cos you have friends Don't give up Youre not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We dont need much of anything Don't give up cause somewhere theres a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Dont give up Please don't give up got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That rivers flowing That rivers flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Don't give up cause you have friends Don't give up Youre not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know its never been easy Don't give up cause I believe there's the a place There's a place where we belong |

QUOTE (Sanders @ Nov 7 2007, 05:42 AM) Thanks O.F., I needed that We all need it. I got that from a MySpace bulletin and I was in tears. We can't give up, because the success or failure of our mission has everything to do with the future of our planet and humanity. |

I think we should take responsibility ourselves, instead of sluffing it off onto God. God cannot achieve a single thing on earth without the hearts and hands of man.

“Eternity” does not need a God, or a Creator to begin Life
This concept is beyond our Words and Comprehension Eternity has no beginning or end So how can Eternity Begin at Death Just for Sins? The United States Constitution is the Law. Enforce Individual Life, Liberty, Property How to Destroy the U.S. Constitution Create Laws against Individual, Life, Liberty, Property CENTRAL BANKS HAVE TAKEN OUR TAX MONEY FROM INDIVIDUALS AND DEPOSITED THIS MONEY INTO A FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS. THIS MONEY IS REMOVED FROM OUR U.S. TREASURY BY OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITHOUT ANY AMENDMENT. Enforce the LAW Without Creating Eternity Any Religious Test IS A VIOLATION! |

We don't even have anyone to surrender to. That's how bad it is. We are fighting a vacuum. A nullity. We have to keep on.
Thanks, OF. |

Newton, the quote was from famed anthropologist, Margaret Mead. Here it is.

QUOTE (newton @ Mar 22 2008, 10:53 PM) ...and i was planning to do it all by myself, LOL! That's the spirit. Ultimately, we gotta keep our spirits up and stick together. We have the numbers - and right on our side. The machine we're fighting has the money, the organization and centuries of being in power - but no numbers. Remember though, they are way more freaked out than we at the moment... I tried "giving up" for a while. I haven't completely given up on giving up, but it's not much fun. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that giving up is very unhealthy. Hope is, alas, the elixer of life. |

This topic reminds me of Kevin Ryan, who said:
QUOTE …as time goes on people are gonna see, that going along to get along is not a good idea. Here's a repost of his famous lecture on the NIST report. |

Beautiful Post O.F. ...
I was just over at Patriots Question, it's growing and it also is showing a very nice presence of PFT in the listings. I know it seems unreachable sometimes, but every time I want to give up I come here and gather strength from all of you or visit PQ for the same sense of all is NOT lost. Peace to all who are in need.. |

Here is a great video posted on Wearechange. Cool facts, I think it makes a valid point of the power we have to share information and a good reason for "Don't give up".

Thought this would be a good thread to bump and say
Happy New Year from the country which will see 2011 first. As Grizz (RIP) posted, "Don't Give Up", and I want to say thank you to all the Pilots who have worked so hard to get the 9/11 message out. 6 hours until 2011, time to hunt me a cold beer (28C here and sunburn is a real problem .....) |
