Lyrics
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm NOT the only one.......

Donald Trump thinks he can call Bill Gates to 'close up' the internet
"We're losing a lot of people because of the internet," Trump said. "We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These are foolish people."

The America Trump Wants: Severed Pig's Head Found On The Doorstep Of A Philadelphia Mosque
Severed pig's head left at N. Phila. mosque
Updated on DECEMBER 7, 2015 — 10:17 PM EST
Philadelphia police, the FBI, and the city's Human Relations Commission launched investigations Monday after a worker at a North Philadelphia mosque found a severed pig's head outside its door.
Surveillance video outside the Al Aqsa Islamic Society, on Germantown Avenue near Jefferson Street, showed a red pickup truck drove past the building twice just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
The first time it crept along slowly near the curb. On its second pass, the video shows, someone extended an arm from the passenger window and tossed something that rolled to a stop near the mosque's front door.
An employee found the bloodied animal head there around 6 a.m. Monday. Pigs are considered insulting to Muslims who observe halal dietary laws.
.......
"It is," (Ruth Landau, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations] "a heinous act that sends a message to Arab-American communities that they are not wanted here in Philadelphia and that could not be further from the truth."
Philadelphia Mayor-elect Jim Kenney expressed outrage.
"The bigotry that desecrated Al-Aqsa mosque today has no place in Philadelphia," he said in a statement. Philadelphia "has a long history of coming together in the face of challenge. We cannot allow hate to divide us now, in the face of unprecedented difficulties. I ask all Philadelphians to join me in rejecting this despicable act and supporting our Muslim neighbors."

When you lose Dick Cheney....
Verbatim: Dick Cheney Criticizes Donald Trump’s Muslim Policy
Well I think this whole notion that somehow we need to say no more Muslims and just ban a whole religion goes against everything we stand for and believe in. I mean religious freedom’s been a very important part of our, our history.”
— Dick Cheney, the former vice president, speaking to the conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt and referring to a proposal by Donald J. Trump to bar Muslims from entering the country.

George Takei: "Enemy? When you're doing a patriotic act? And as nonaliens? What is that?"
......
"My mother was born in Sacramento. My father was a San Franciscan," he told me. "They met and married in Los Angeles, and his kids - me the oldest - were born in Los Angeles. American citizens were rounded up simply because we happened to look like the people that bombed Pearl Harbor.
"We were American citizens, and there were no charges, and yet because of our appearance, because of our race, we were considered a threat to national security.
"And the interesting thing is, right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, young Japanese Americans rushed to their hometown recruitment centers to volunteer to fight for this country, an act of patriotism. They were not only denied military service but categorized as enemy nonaliens.
"Enemy? When you're doing a patriotic act? And as nonaliens? What is that? That's a citizen defined in the negative. They even took the word citizen away from us."
