I've learned so many things and a lot of things I've learned the hard way. I look at failure as education in that respect I'm very well educated.
The only absolute attainment is absolute abandonment.
Reality is something the human race doesn't handle very well.
USA belongs to a handful of men who also control the media. Look at General Electric. It produces nuclear weapons for the Pentagon and also owns the NBC News cable channel, which is a very sophisticated censure apparatus, intrinsic to the system. It's genius. It's like an electronic cage around the nation which blocks information from getting through.

I work hard but I play hard.
