"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

An Easter Gift for you..
I confess I know little of the works of Leonard Cohen, but when I saw this at Sharon Cobb's site, I had to steal it, Here is the legendary k.d. lang singing in Cohen's "Hallelujah".
Cracker--Aside from Cohen being one of the most amazing poets of our generation, you would probably be interested in knowing he spent years living in a Buddhist monastery.
Peskyfly-- Jeff did an amazing job. Totally agree.
If you don't know much about Leonard Cohen, you really ought to have a listen to this
ReplyDeleteThat's what I started my day with on Election Day 2006, and every time I hear it I am magically transported back to what, for me, was a great day.
