Lost Gospel wisdom:
“…let the women keep silence in the assemblies: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the Law. And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the assembliy.”
1 Corinthians 14:34,35
Goodbye, Europe, and sorry for Europeans… I’ve other plans…:-)
“..les États-Unis auront légalement accès aux informations bancaires des Européens, dès que le Traité de Lisbonne sera entré en vigueur et que le Parlement européen aura avalisé le nouvel accord. Au demeurant, avant même le vote parlementaire, ces dispositions sont déjà appliquées.”
“The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively– because, without this humble appliance, you can’t know where The Art stops and The Real World begins. You have to put a ‘box’ around it because otherwise, what is that shit on the wall?”
Frank Zappa
“How terrible is wisdom when it brings no profit to the wise”….
(oh, by the way…this line is from Sophocles, Oedipus Rex)
“I want the truth!”
“You can’t handle the truth!…”
Col. Jessep: *You want answers?*
Kaffee: *I want the truth!*
Col. Jessep: *You can’t handle the truth!*
[pauses]
Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red?
Col. Jessep: I did the job I…
Kaffee: *Did you order the Code Red?*
Col. Jessep: *You’re Goddamn right I did!*
“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one: the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little quad of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” – George Bernard Shaw
A real impressive and mesmerizing video, with a lot of food for thought.
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth’s climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.
HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

“There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love.” – Don Juan De Marco
Something near perfection…
Really breathtaking. Enjoy it
