I came across Newt Gingrich's dissertation and tweeted a few select quotes. Watch what happens within my own little global community.
@jaypsyd @newtgingrich Yeah Interesting Quote , Caught my attention :) !
@jaypsyd @newtgingrich Well , I hope his political views really supports Justice and Welfare of others , We have been disappointed a lot :(
@DivineParty They most certainly do not support justice and welfare of others.
@jaypsyd I dream everytime there's a new president 4 the most powerful country of the world
@jaypsyd that he wud use this power to make the world a better place
My twitter friend from Egypt took my breath away.
Such a simple wish. Such an embodied example of what American values are. Such a challenge for each of us to rise up and be more. When we watch these petty politicians on television debate, do you see any of them living up to this simple wish? Do you see any of them being able to stand up tall and wield their power--our power that we grant to our elected president--to make the world a better place?
Shame on them for being so small.
Shame on each of us that don't vote. Shame on each of us that continues to allow a politic of fear overshadow a politic of dreams.
@jaypsyd Does Power spoil people that much ? why don't people treat it like a responsibility not a privilege !?
@DivineParty I think many use power to support their own self interested/not our shared global community.
@jaypsyd In the endless fight between The Good & The Evil , How do you see it End !?
@DivineParty That's implying there is both a beginning and and end. It's what we do with what we have the concerns me the most.
@DivineParty It's how we each confront issues of power, violence, and domination that unlocks our potentials, or dooms us to failure.
I hope we find our way--and soon.
"Some specialists argue that American society will be warped and disfigured by this growing disparity in living standard."@newtgingrich

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cites frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I light my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883
