The difference today is that, in both parties, the very extreme elements control the nomination process.

I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.

The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference.

What is the difference between....?
What is the difference between black and white?
What is the difference between day and night?
What is the difference between love and hate?
What is the difference between a woman and a mate?
The answers seem to be so easy
as the difference between to be free and to be busy.
But! Can you tell me the difference between a lie and a truth?
Can you tell me the difference between old age and youth?
Will you tell me the difference between a grant and a sob?
If you don’t know this difference you can flop.
I would like to know the difference between wrong and right,
I would like to know the difference between a war and a fight.
If you know the answers please, write.
It will be interesting to know your opinion,
And may be I will find it to be brilliant.

Extremes, though contrary, have the like effects. Extreme heat kills, and so extreme cold: extreme love breeds satiety, and so extreme hatred; and too violent rigor tempts chastity, as does too much license.

Nomination
Nomination, nation, on, no, in, ion, at, tan, not, aim, main;
And like the ladies and the gemtlemen around you!
But be very observant and watch yourseld in this life.
Nomination, man, ant, mot, mat, mint, to, moon, noom, ton;
And like the acts of love on you my sweet one!
But be very observant and watch yourself in this life.

Vote For Me
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
Ill cut your tax in half
Ill make the russians laugh
Ill feed the hungry people everywhere
Ill bring the railroads back
New trains and new track
From waikiki to old deleware
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
Ill give detroit one year
New cars that run on beer
Or anything except gasoline
Im looking to the sun
More power for everyone
And the cleanest sky that youve ever seen
Im not going to kid you, theres a lot to do
Little can I promise, its really up to you
But if we all work together
And I think we can
And if you want some new ideas
Then Im your man
Vote for me, vote for me
I want the nomination for the presidency
Vote for me, vote for me
If I am elected, this is how it will be
Ill work for global peace
And the sweet release
Of the love and human kindness in us all
I would give all Ive got
You just give me a shot
Somehow, I know that I can win the fall

Make A Difference Today
Make A Difference Today
i want to be a blessing to you
with all my might, i can give it to you
i can offer a ride, a penny or two
just to make you smile, please don't be blue
i can send you a card, a gift, a call
so you will be standing tall
i want to give you the best today
and make a difference for you to stay
so light up that gloomy side
there is always a light that never hide
God will always be there for you
And my hugs to keep you through
Smile..and the world will smile back at you
and make a difference today and for me..

The difference
the difference between man and god
is man would work to 'create' something
even better than himself so that he can
have a control over him - to use him
and god - no, every creature
would have to be lower than himself
and submit totally to him as laid down in his plan
and that's tip of the iceberg of the differences
the difference between man and god
is that if a man could he would
work to make something
that could have a will of its own
but yet want to have absolute control over him
and god - full will and freedom
are accorded to each creature
even whether they wish to submit to his will
the dangling apple an unfathomable heaven
and a frightening hell

It's only two a day
If you could stop two young boys
From dying today
Would you?
If you could share the fear
that they do feel today
Would you?
If you could bring
Them home today
Would you?
If you could take
Their place today
Would you?
If you want…you can make
A difference today…
But Will you?

Rain In Indiana
No rain in Indiana is what I heard
I thought 'Wow, it's raining everywhere else,
sounds absurd.'
Then my friend asked—
'Can you make it rain'
I replied—
'O.K. I will do it tomorrow, not today'
Then in morning around 6 eastern time
I did my Shaman thing which is totally from my mind.
Then I get a call around 3—
hey, it rained here today—
not in forcast 'was it you Suzy? '
I said, yes—
I would of never guessed—
maybe I do have magical power—but we all do—
we can control the elements if we believe it is true.

Control
Control control
control control! !
Too many times a day
control!
Control the sleeping
time, the wake!
Control amount
of coffee, milk,
sugar intake!
Control breakfast,
lunch and dinner's time,
Also the calories
and vitamins to come!
Control your words
control your thoughts
control the sitting
straight out pose
Control own look
from head- to toes!
Forget not those
that count
the most:
Feelings! !
Control them!
Out not to let
controlling self
to not became a threat
to whom or what
to ask I wouldn't dare
right now, I wouldn't
even care..
No more control!
No keeping sane!
FREE! ! !
as the Wind who's
messing up my hair
I - Want - To- Be! ! ! !
Let others have control,
not me! ? !
Control..control control
control? !
Oh, pardon me! -bull s..!
I had enough:
-I'M OUT OF IT! ! !

Afraid To Crack
soon there is no use of your fear
in due time
you crack
extreme heat
extreme cold
like a seed
your mind cracks
but do not lose hope
my dear
we all crack
on extreme pain
on extreme joys
we give room
for the seed
to grow
just wait
just wait

Mr. Self Destruct
i am the voice inside your head and i control you
i am the lover in your bed and i control you
i am the sex that you provide and i control you
i am the hate you try to hide and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct
i speak religion's message clear and i control you
i am denial guilt and fear and i control you
i am the prayers of the naive and i control you
i am the lie that you believe and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct
i am the needle in your vein and i control you
i am the high you can't sustain and i control you
i am the pusher i'm a whore and i control you
i am the need you have for more and i control you
i am the bullet in the gun and i control you
i am the truth from which you run and i control you
i am the silencing machine and i control you
i am the end of all your dreams and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
mr self destruct
