Another "Education" Quote

I'm really liking this book. It's pissing me off but that isn't stopping me.

Forced schooling was the medicine to bring the whole continental population into conformity with these plans so that it might be regarded as a "human resource" and managed as a "workforce." No more Ben Franklins or Tom Edisons could be allowed; they set a bad example. One way to manage this was to see to it that individuals were prevented from taking up their working lives until an advanced age when the ardor of youth and its insufferable self-confidence had cooled.

: Name: Cuerpo Aztlan

I'm a Chicano activist and musician that is trying to take care of myself so I can support others. I think self care and mutual aid are important. I realize that to help others I need to be healthy, caring and strong enough to do it! I'm also reclaiming my life as a musician for myself and my children. Music is helping me stay sane! I've also begun writing for La Raza Unida Party at the Bernalillo County La Raza Unida blog.

Quote

"At best, being a warrior gives us an opportunity to transcend the dream of the planet, and to change our personal dream to a dream that we call heaven. Just like hell, heaven is a place that exists within our mind. It is a place of joy, a place where we are happy, where we are free to love and to be who we really are. We can reach heaven while we are alive; we don't have to wait until we die. God is always present and the kingdom of heaven is everywhere, but first we need to have the eyes and ears to see and hear that truth..."
