If you are LGBT, it is very important to VOTE today

We may be rightfully angry and impatient with President Obama over the slow progress on the repeal of DADT and DOMA. But make no mistake, he and most other Democrats are fighting for our cause -- maybe not as fiercely and urgently as we would like -- but the other party is actively voting against and denying us our rights. There is no comparison. And the many of the Tea Party candidates are social conservatives with wildly homophobic views. PLEASE VOTE TODAY!

Shameful: rightwing group intends to scare white voters by claiming Obama is a "secret Muslim plant" and "socialist Commie terrorist." It works

Zen thought: when any kind of form appears, then suffering appears

Before thinking, there is no mind. When thinking appears, mind appears. When mind appears, dharma appears. When dharma appears, form appears. And when any kind of form appears, then suffering appears: life and death, happiness and unhappiness, good and bad, like and dislike, coming and going. Mind disappears, dharma disappears. Dharma disappears, form disappears. Form disappears, then life and death, good and bad, happy and unhappy, coming and going—everything disappears.
So don’t make mind, okay?

--Seung Sahn
