I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power.
We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Our
society is run by insane people for insane objectives.
I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends
and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for
expressing that. That's what's insane about it.

SATURDAY,
JANUARY 9, 2PM: Ring in the New Year Protest for LGBTQ
Rights and Workers Rights. Manchester Grand Hyatt, 1
Market Place San Diego. It's been two years since Doug
Manchester, owner of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel
in San Diego, contributed $125,000 to anti-LGBT rights
campaigners -- an early infusion of cash that paid for
the signature-gathering drive that put Proposition 8
on the ballot. Members and supporters of San Diego's
large LGBT community immediately called for a boycott
of the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel and a coalition
led by the San Diego LGBT community and the labor movement
announced a formal boycott of the property. Two years
after Doug Manchester's contribution to Proposition
8, the boycott of the Manchester Grand Hyatt continues.
