make some news

into the ground

But the [people], if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire . . . They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies . . .

- George Orwell, 1984





You let one ant stand up to us - then they all might stand up.

Those puny little ants outnumber us a 100 to one. And if they

- Howard Zinn, historian





To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.



- Bruce Lee





The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.

- George Bernard Shaw





If you don't like the news, go out and make some news of your own.
