Whatever I contributed to the unique morale of the Cardinals was part of this growth, and so, of course, was my decision to have it out in public with the owners of organized baseball.

Baseball is a public trust. Players turn over, owners turn over and certain commissioners turn over. But baseball goes on.

Man is an animal, but a social animal. Society for its manifold blessings asks in exchange sacrifice and compromise. Concession is the world's walking gait. Fevers and hallucinations sweep over us, it is true; but be they permitted to infect the public body, slaughter shall result. Government is either organized benevolence or organized madness; its peculiar magnitude permits no shading.

Sins not seen
No sins are seen unless committed
Air is up in air only when emitted
Love the way as nature desires
Fall in line and fully admire
No sense when it is realized late
Can not be contributed merely to fate
It is the way of feeling
Else everything is done if one is willing
If you fall prey to colors
It will be unique with honor
As life is adventurous
Never stagnating but remain continuous
Some of the acts are holy
That ahs to be owned in faith wholly
No one has escaped and they need not be
It is totally one’s own domain and very free
One can take decision firmly
It has to be consented and not followed blindly
It may have all types of ups and down
The act may be committed when fully known
It has to be graced as it is customary
Some of the aspects are really necessary
It keeps natural wheel moving in direction
Let some of the actions be disproved with reactions

The other part of our proposal that gets the 'dittoheads' upset is our suggestion that the commercial radio station owners either play by the rules or pay. In other words, if they don't want to be subject to local criticism of how they are meeting their license obligations, they should pay to support public broadcasters who will operate on behalf of the local community.

Yes, we've seen it all before. And yes, those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it. But no, the sky is not falling - baseball is such a great game that neither the owners nor the players can kill it. After some necessary carnage, market forces will prevail.

A Song to my Brother
I wanna do something for my elder brother;
I wanna do something that will make him smile;
I wanna do something that he will remember;
I wanna do something that’s unique and clever!
I wanna do something that can make him talk;
I wanna do something that can make him laugh;
I wanna do something that can make him sing;
I wanna do something that will make him brighter!
I wanna do something that can give him joy;
I wanna do something that can boost morale;
I wanna do something that can encourage;
I wanna do something that is unique and forever!
I wanna do something that improves his plight;
I wanna do something that can cheer him up;
I wanna do something that can lift his heart;
I wanna do something for my good old brother!

Cars... Waiting in the sun(9/11/01)
Patiently waiting their owners,
the cars sit alone
Blue Mercedes, black ford,
red Dodge, grey Toyota
But for tonight these waiting cars,
will not be going home
No one gives it a thought,
nor cares an iota
Only two days later
does one give it a thought
That these cars waiting their owners,
and coated with dust
Would never be driven again
by their owners
Though waiting, patiently…
oblivious in trust
Waiting in bright sunlight,
where once there was shade
From the two majestic towers
that seemed to forever persist
Waiting in the lonely parking lot
for owners delayed
By the fact that their owners…
and the towers… no longer exist.

Competition between individuals sets one against the other and undermines morale, but competition between organizations builds morale and encourages creativity.
Our findings with reference to organized crime was that organized crime as an entity didn't participate in the assassination of the president. However, we were unable to preclude the possibility of individual members of organized crime having participated.

Free Yourself and Let It Go
Deflated ego?
You think I say the things I do to you,
To deflate your ego?
I am hoping my assistance,
Helps you get rid of it.
And seeing no benefit in being limited.
And that's what your ego has done!
Made you believe you are number one.
And everything you do is correct.
Without a self examination...
Needed to allow you to live your best yet.
Deflated ego?
I may say some things to you that upsets.
I may even criticize something you do,
You accept as your best.
I might even attempt to strip,
That façade you charade.
Since it's your ego that has you 'tripped'...
When you see it for what it is,
You will realize your greatness has nothing to do with it.
In fact it is keeping you,
Inflated with bs and other nonsense.
Deflate your ego?
You think I do that,
From a threat I feel.
To diminish you in some way...
So I would have a greater appeal?
And deflating your ego would give me thrills?
You need to free yourself and let it go.
If you believe that keeping it,
Inspires a greater you with heights to reach!
Free yourself and let it go.
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Free yourself and let it go.
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Free yourself and let it go.
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
That ego you've got stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!
Stunts your growth!

Owners on a Lead
The dogs were out walking,
their owners on the lead.
The dogs take them,
wherever they want to go.
The owners have to stop
when they want to sniff around the trees
or do their toiletries.
So who is taking whom for a walk,
and who is on the lead?
I suspect that it is the owners
who are on the lead.
