The greatest love I have ever known, with or without me, love's brightest ray ever shone We may be together Never again But I will love you Evermore

It all falls down Heaven ain't just in the sky Your pot of gold Might not be Where you were told It might be in my eyes

I can't go on any longer Without making amends. Are we still lovers, Or are we just friends? ------------ I apologize. I know that I've been wrong. If you could see my eyes, Would you see That our love will go on? ------------- It's all waiting for us. It's known to someone else. We might not know it ourselves, But it will all come to be. It will be me living for you... With you...

How can Any of this be I thought you were All I needed I thought You were it for me! But you turned into Something I can't believe And I would give anything And everything For you to just F'n leave!

Love, love, love I don't believe it If you ask me again I could leave it It's a lie That someone once started To tell the innocent And the brokenhearted So why even try A four letter word So venomous, a curse Of all untruths, the worst Oh why, oh why

I'm sorry if... I was never there. But you never understood That I don't care! You're more than a thorn In my side Or a scorn on my pride Causing pain inside. You're useless! So useless!

He was always the one When it was all said and done After years with me You went running back to him You two weren't together that long And you knew He never wanted you He still told me he would never be tied down But he took you From my house to his And gave up ten years Of what I thought was friendship By taking Everything I had And together You two are...

In 1550-51, Bartolomé de las Casas and Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, in the Valladolid Debate, attempted to settle the issue of whether or not Native Americans should have been enslaved, given sanction by the Pope. Both carefully argued their side, las Casas stating emphatically, through his "Apología," that Native Americans were not all uncivilized and that only Canaanite tribes could be enslaved.

So now you Can please forgive me I want to give you Everything that makes life worth living You think I fulfill your dreams But I only pray I can Sometimes it somehow seems That I'm too much of a man Always questioning something Never fully accepting Not realizing what I have Always second guessing

I don't think I told you But I would give my life To hold you If only once Could you ever allow it Since I can't do it... Now that... The miles we have between us Aren't any shorter But only seem to keep us Wishing so much it's hurting And can we get through the next few months Til it could happen Before I lose my mind And I find It's not somethin I could have and It's not somethin open

We lost our lands, To unseen hands, To never know again, The life, the love, Of one another, The Earth, the hunt, Our soul, our Mother. Only now, empty man, We wash ourselves, In ancestor's blood, No way back, But now to die, In the white man's flood, And to be buried, In snow and mud.

Dr. Benjamin Spock will always be remembered by many as the pediatrician who changed the way parents reared their children, by many others as a Vietnam era anti-war activist, and by his wife as a brilliant storyteller whose parenting advice did not carry over to his own life. Few people realize the lengths to which Benjamin Spock went to protest the Vietnam War, including running for President.

Hate me If it makes you feel so good Since I could never make you Feel anything else Hate me good Hate me now If it gives you some answer to Some question you’ve been Asking yourself for so long Hate me; please hate me
