I'm gonna quote something from a song... ^_^
"Moeru you na yuugure ni terasareta senaka ni wa
samekitta te no hira wa todokanai."
Translation: "The flamelike rays of sunset shine upon your back
and my hands grow cold when I cannot reach you."

"Democracy is not about trust; it is about distrust. It is about accountability, exposure, open debate, critical challenge, and popular input and feedback from the citizenry. It is about responsible government. We have to get our fellow Americans to trust their leaders less and themselves more, trust their own questions and suspicions, and their own desire to know what is going on."

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us" - Walt Kelly, The Pogo Papers, 1952
finnegan, your is a great quotation, and true!
