"I'm sorry. I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible. Jew, gentile, blackman, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. This world has room for everyone and the good earth is rich, and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls. It has barricaded the world into hate. It has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us with want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much, and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities life would be violent, and all will be lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men. Cries out for universal brotherhood, and the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world. Millions of despairing men women and children. Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those that can hear me I say, do not despair. The misery that is now upon us, is but the passing of greed the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die.Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes! Men who despise you, enslave you. Who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel! Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder! Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men! Machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines. You are not cattle! You are men! Let us all unite!" -Charlie Chaplin (The Great Dictator 1940)

Flag 07:30
go fly your flag you can fly your flag you fly your flag, you can fly your flag, you can fly it when you see me now go fly your flag you can fly your flag, fly your flag, fly your flag, fly your flag, you fly your flag, fly 'round and 'round the town you fly around, 'round and 'round the town It'll cost you more than you paid for... 'round the town somebody you paid had a breakdown take a walk in the park that you paid for "An illuminating history bearing on the everlasting struggle for world supremacy, fought between the powers of technology and magic. The world blew up in a thousand atomic fireballs."

Melatonin 07:47
Observe this lonely madness, don't serve your only sadness Eat the magic stones, and sleep without your bones We ran into a problem, at the gate we wait for progress I faked the happiness, you let me trick the masses Observe this unneeded mindlessness and violence This most vicious self, now our hearts are made of wealth Whoever be discover, with truth will they be robbed Let go of your land, think of all the prophets The night has come, gone the sun, solsgirth in the ground Sleep will rise in the black of night, delight can now be found You won't fall asleep if it won't come up, another rising sun Another rising sun
