. . . your tendencies toward self-victimization. . .
(from http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/victim)
“Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim--letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor.”
― C.R. Strahan
“You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once—there has to be a limit”
― Edward W. Said
“As long as you think that the cause of your problem is “out there”—as long as you think that anyone or anything is responsible for your suffering—the situation is hopeless. It means that you are forever in the role of victim, that you’re suffering in paradise.”
― Byron Katie
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible. Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton
“You can either be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It all depends on how you view your life.”
― Paulo Coelho
“The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them.”
― Steve Maraboli
“and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure.”
― Stephen King
“So often survivors have had their experiences denied, trivialized, or distorted. Writing is an important avenue for healing because it gives you the opportunity to define your own reality. You can say: This did happen to me. It was that bad. It was the fault & responsibility of the adult. I was—and am—innocent.”
― Ellen Bass

. . . from Third-Hand Intelligence, a tune on which OHO is diligently working at present, is presented below as performed on solo piano by yours truly. The OHO arrangement of this tune incorporates hard-rock elements while dynamically presenting a torchy story of the ill-effects that can potentially result when less-than reliable information is related between parties who do not necessarily hold any substantial stake in the matters in question. It really has shaped up nicely thanks to Messrs. Graboski and Reeve. It will hopefully appear on the tentatively titled 'Male Pattern Radness' in the not too distant future.

“It is a well known fact that reality has liberal bias.”
― Stephen Colbert
“Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower
“If there is ever a fascist takeover in America, it will come not in the form of storm troopers kicking down doors but with lawyers and social workers saying. "I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
― Jonah Goldberg
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”
― William F. Buckley Jr.
“Conservatism is the blind and fear-filled worship of dead radicals.”
― Mark Twain
“-You have no respect for excessive authority or obsolete traditions. You're dangerous and depraved, and you ought to be taken outside and shot!”
― Joseph Heller
“A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel. ”
― Robert Frost
“I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m proud of it.”
― Paul Krugman

(from http://www.notable-quotes.com/l/lying_quotes_viii.html#TFdvTrWgKz8CRzBM.99)
The only lies for which we are truly punished are those we tell ourselves.
V. S. NAIPAUL
There be three degrees of this hiding and veiling of a man's self. The first, closeness, reservation, and secrecy; when a man leaveth himself without observation, or without hold to be taken, what he is. The second, dissimulation, in the negative; when a man lets fall signs and arguments, that he is not, that he is. And the third, simulation, in the affirmative; when a man industriously and expressly feigns and pretends to be, that he is not.
SIR FRANCIS BACON
Exaggeration is a blood relation to falsehood and nearly as blamable.
HOSEA BALLOU
We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies to children. A single untruth on the part of the master will destroy the results of his education.
JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU
Nothing is rarer than a solitary lie; for lies breed like Surinam toads; you cannot tell one but out it comes with a hundred young ones on its back.
WASHINGTON ALLSTON
The most intangible, and therefore the worst, kind of lie is a half truth. This is the peculiar device of a conscientious detractor.
WASHINGTON ALLSTON

Rep. Lamar Smith , R-Texas has used his power of congressional subpoena to coerce the head of NOAA, Kathryn Sullivan, to hand over all data and emails from scientists on their use of global satellite data. Smith is chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. In a very harshly worded letter, his co-committee member Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, accuses him of overreaching and abusing his power, noting (correctly) that neither he nor his staff is qualified to examine the data.

“If you want to find the real competition, just look in the mirror. After awhile you'll see your rivals scrambling for second place.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

― Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
“Sex, whatever else it is, is an athletic skill. The more you practice, the more you can, the more you want to, the more you enjoy it, the less it tires you.”
