It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.
You will kill ten of us, we will kill one of you, but in the end, you will tire of it first
I follow only one party: the Vietnamese party
The great victory of April 30 represents the triumph of the entire nation, of justice over brutality and of humanity over tyranny

John F. Kennedy
We have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.

Richard Nixon
I’m not going to be the first American president to lose a war.

Gen. Curtis LeMay,
Tell the Vietnamese they’ve got to draw in their horns or we’re going to bomb them back into the Stone Age.

Walter Cronkite
I covered the Vietnam War. I remember the lies that were told, the lives that were lost - and the shock when, twenty years after the war ended, former Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara admitted he knew it was a mistake all along.

Jingili Circumnavigated Apical

  Remembering what the imperial powers set in place. Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce. The essential values justify achievement and superiority. To inflict an ideological belief of inferiority. And to punish cultures into subservience and dependency. Masters and soldier ants. Each time we try to free ourselves. Sovereign power adjusts its grid of discipline. A correction to form a new normal. A nation of docile subjects. Humanising pest control. From less suffering to more suffering. From pest controller to pest and back again. Forming another correction and resetting our new normal. Who controls our benefactor? According to the Gospel of Wealth. Our pests make our life difficult Miserable We need solutions The door behind the curtain Trying to controlling them From and then to Until domestication becomes Apical dominance One-off sponsorship You Tube

  From behind this veil I can see everything and everyone You only see me as a shadow  I sometimes get lost in the camouflage You try to remain civil and courteous Inside, I have no need Outside, you have no idea Here I am on my crafted net In my domain Waiting for you to enter To select the choice Convinced  As unconstrained And Free It is not sufficient. To ransom our future on exponential growth. A future of class division. Where the unprofitable is marginalized.

  Are you on the bus? What is your destination? Will you cross the road? What is behind the machine? The privilege of possessing a curious mind and an urge to make sense. When Flinders circumnavigated New Holland. He took Trim. Suitable for service. Faithful and affectionate. So it became. Forging ahead and getting around restrictions. Breaking national protections. Cutting the red tape. To this day Encroachments are made to preserve Australia's prosperity. And maximizing returns, by reorganizing structures. To maintain productivity and continuous growth.

The BIG Issue: Exhausted Teachers cannot reform For so many reasons most teachers I talk to say that they are busy. Busier year after year.   Burnout Burnout often affects people in helping professions: lawyers, doctors, social workers, managers and teachers, among others. For teachers, working with students means constantly trying to respond to their needs while simultaneously meeting the various demands of the organisation. When teachers feel that there is a mismatch between all these demands and the available resources they have for coping with them, stress is induced. The usual culprits mentioned are: lack of time, ideas, materials, expertise and support. https://goo.gl/k8vzJY This is not unusual Almost half of new teachers leave the profession in their first year because of an excessive workload and 'exhausted and stressed colleagues', a union leader has warned. The number has tripled in six years, according to an analysis of figures by the Association of
