Courage As A Commodity:

• "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this Earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never recieved anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. Look at these greand men. Which of you wouldn't consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I'm lucky. Who wouldn't consider it an honour to have known Jacob Robertson? Also, the builder of baseball's greatest empire. Ed Barrow? To have spent six year with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins? Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I'm Lucky. "When the New York Giants, a team you give your right arm to beat, and ive versa, sends you a gift - that's something. When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remeber you with trophies - that's something. When you have a wonderfuyl mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that's something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. Wjen you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage that you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know. So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have am awful lot to live for."

"One ought to be able to hold in one's head simultaneaousely the two facts Dali is a good draughtsman and a disgusting human being. The one does not invalidate, or in a sense, affect the other..."

"Orwell" (by Jonas)

There's No 'I' In Team:

Can still remember times
Of prosperity while staring clear eyed
With broad strokes of promise
We coloured highlights of our future and
something we'll never get
Until we look back with sincere regret
Is our american dream subject tocollapse beneath their density
And we'll break before we bend
With tomorrow as yet undetermined
You can write your congressmen
And take your grievences to the highest level
To achieve a common end
To serve the bourgeois, the laissez-faire
Citizens duty-bound so we play our part
If you kill the brain
Then you'll stop the heart
And we foster the illusion of a
Democratic archetype
Can we forge hope from this devastation
And bring about participation
To stem the apathetic tide
Now poised to wash us all away
And we break before we bend
With tomorrow as yet undetermined
We achieve such selfish ends
'Till we concern ourselves with the plight of others
You can write your congressmen
And fucking spit in the wind
For all the good it'll do you friend
We havent got the luxury
Of neutral oberservation
'Cause when its said and done
We stand or fall as one
And though the situations grave
I think its worth the risk to save
This notion of the free
And the asylum of the brave

Under The Delta 'Son'....
