Open Letter to Prez. Bush & Mr. Gates

There are no “bad” or “evil” people.
You must learn not to look upon the world as a lost and decaying thing but as a something perfect and glorious which is going on to a most beautiful completeness; and you must learn to see men and women not as lost and accursed things, but as perfect beings advancing to become complete. There [...]

Where there is no substance there can be no intelligence; for where there is no substance there is nothing. Where [...]
