Produce your own dream. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. Its quite possible to do anything, but not to put it on the leaders and the parking meters. Don't expect Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and do it for you. You have to do it yourself. That's what the great masters and mistresses have been saying ever since time began. They can point the way, leave signposts and little instructions in various books that are now called holy and worshiped for the cover of the book and not for what it says, but the instructions are all there for all to see, have always been and always will be. There's nothing new under the sun. All the roads lead to Rome. And people cannot provide it for you. I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.

Sounds pretty individualist.

I've been very interested in Lennon's politics since watching The U.S. Vs. John Lennon. He's popularly known as a communitarian leftist, but it seems a lot of people are questioning that now.

John Lennon is one of the main reasons i am an activist today!! If John Lennon was alive today I truly believe he would of been marching right up there with Michael Maresco:) I can see John Lennon holding a Ron Paul 2012 sign.

Daniel Ellsburg would hold a Ron Paul 2012 sign. :D

Bad news, guys.

I just heard a news report.

Take a seat. Brace yourself.

John Lennon is dead.

He won't be much help in future campaigns.

I worked for money and I wanted to be rich. So what the hell—if that’s a paradox, then I’m a socialist. But I am not anything. What I used to be is guilty about money. … Because I thought money was equated with sin. I don’t know. I think I got over it, because I either have to put up or shut up, you know. If I’m going to be a monk with nothing, do it. Otherwise, if I am going to try and make money, make it. Money itself isn’t the root of all evil.
