I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary… the evil it does is permanent.

All About B.
Former supermodel turned brain surgeon leaves behind successful career in America to try her hand at hausfraudom in the lovely Saxon city of Dresden, Germany.
Some days are good, some are bad... all are opportunities to learn & grow.
With my sunny disposition and can-do attitude, what could possibly go wrong?

amen, sister…
reading the news didn’t make me happy, i certainly won’t be celebrating… and i already regret that no doubt it will end up eventually on youtube…
Gandhi was a wise and holy man. His words ring as true today as when he spoke them so many years ago. All lives are connected, and with each death there is a ripple that spreads out far and wide to touch each one of us.
Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.
~ MLK
I believe we will long rue this day and this whole misadventure.
At what point, will we learn that violence, in any form, should not be celebrated?
They’re selling postcards of the hanging
They’re painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
…
Praise be to Nero’s Neptune
The Titanic sails at dawn
And everybody’s shouting
“Which Side Are You On?”
~ Bob Dylan … Desolation Row
