Masternation

Here’s to the brave who brought down Berlin’s wall,
not with guns and bombs,
but because they heard the call,
armed with the spirit of freedom.

And to the masses of the U.S.S.R.,
who descended on Moscow,
to watch communism fall,
with just the desire to be free.

And again to one student,
who stood up to the tanks,
the world and all China,
came to witness that night,
the power and pathway to freedom.

To fight madness with madness,
only leads to the same,
slowing the healing of change.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

BRAVO, Ray!

It is sad that a nation that fought so bravely for independence can be so cowardly about granting the same freedoms to other peoples of the earth.

Thank you Kacy and I really hope that the people of Taiwan know that many Americans stand behind there desire for independence.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...
