“ Stop living in a world of contradictory, supernatural fairy tales. Welcome to the real world. Yes, most of them still operate like they are planning to live forever. (very few of them are planning to die. Ever.) Get over your own mortality, break free of the chains that bind you and begin to share responsibility of steering the boat while you are here and most capable of making a difference. Help us. Help the children. Help everyone get better and move forward. We are all we have. Cherish your relationships. Build bridges. Exploit the bamboozled. That last one was a joke. Learn. Ask why. Comfort the One's who can not fathom a world without a master. We will win because we have accepted responsibility. Slaves are not in charge. We are. E Pluribus Unum Mike Moore [masked] ”
— Mike Moore on Dec 3, 2008.

“ Others should join the group so they can know they are not alone in their belief system. In your communtity there are others like you that have thrown off the shakles of mythology and have outgrown the fables that they were indoctrinated into as children.
