Quote from Tony Blair
Addendum Note:
It is possible this quote is not correct, I Andy of HoboTraveler.com have no way find out the truth, the general gist of the quote is correct, yet I am not able to validate.
The message, what is the thoughts of value?
"That more people want the USA."
When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said:
"A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want
in... And how many want out."
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
END QUOTE
Hmm, Jac sent the quote from Tony Blair to me, and I thank him.
I am thinking...
A simple way to measure the value of advice..
There are people that do things.
There are people who complain about people who do things.
Take advice from the person who is doing something.
From me... Andy

Never Give Up
Kpalime, Togo West Africa
Friday, March 23, 2007
- It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up. -
-- Babe Ruth
I found this quote, on this page:
http://www.jordoncooper.com/resources/quotes/t-quotes.htm
I hope the Babe said this, and if he did not, then no problem anyway, somebody like him needs the credit.
My friend Gary said something like this to me one time, it is one of them reverse logic, look at the world from a different angle, and the solution is easy thoughts. He wrote me, and now my curiousity is going astray, was a great day, searching for quotes.
Ok, unfortunately, I learned a little about this idea because of me being an alcoholic, sometimes a person would say to me,
- Die damn it, but do not drink. -
Somewhere in the mind, over in the corner, hidden by some confusions, is a switch, flip the switch, and the world changes. Come up with one more excuse, and the world stays the same.
Never Give Up

A Techie with Wisdom
Kpalime, Togo West Africa
Thursday, March 29, 2007
Quote:
The problem with the human condition is that it involves humans. Bringing that condition online, fostering it with the Wisdom of Crowds philosophy, is slowly but surely proving what philosophers have said since humans first learned to write: the anonymous mob is powerful and passionate, but no more rational than an angry swarm of bees.
--- Jason Lee Miller is a staff writer for WebProNews
Quote:
Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.
– Friedrich Nietzsche.
The more people that like me, the more I worry about myself. I would know my opinions were in question, if the groups agreed.

African Freedom When is it Over
Lome Togo West Africa
Friday, May 25, 2007
by Andy of HoboTraveler.com
This was an ironic joke told to me a couple of days ago, trying to explain why there is small progress in Africa after the end of Colonization.
A man in Senegal says to an Old Papa,
- You are Free now.
The Papa says,
- Ok, when over? -
African Freedom When is it Over

To be something A Great French Quote
Lome, Togo West Africa
Saturday, June 2, 2007
by Andy of HoboTraveler.com
A awe inspiring quote…
Abbé Sieyes:
What is the Third Estate?
Everything. What has it been hitherto in the political order? Nothing. What does it desire? To be something.
------
I was looking at a girl walking into a the Hotel, she was proud, nice, and pretty. Then an Expat said,
- There is your banana girl, look at her shoes. -
I was looking at something, not a nothing, a person, a human.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Joseph_Sieyès
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_is_the_Third_Estate?
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/sieyes.html
So was the Quote from the music group "The Who."
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Won't Get Fooled Again
by The Who
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the foe, that' all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

Going Crazy While on the Road
Lome, Togo West Africa
Tuesday, June 5, 2007
Andy of HoboTraveler.com
I call it losing the plot, Alex Garland in the book, The Beach continually alludes to this danger, I think about it, I feel it, and there is always a creeping worry.
Will I go crazy?
Here are a couple of comments from people who wrote personal email to me about this real danger. I think they both wrote these comments as something to say, or as or of some sub-conscious knowledge of a real danger.
I have seen many people go crazy from travel, it is not a joke, I am not joking, and this is a real danger.
QUOTES:
Hello Andy, I have been following your site and newsletter for many years- congratulations on staying human. (… )
Bonne Chance Tony

Peace, Andy. I hope you are doing well. I think often about you and your travels and the times that we met. Keep doing what you need to do to ward off going crazy while on the road

END QUOTES
Why do people go crazy? I could write a 225-page book, full of the many ways and real example, I do not know where to start so I will finish.
Quote:
If you can keep your head when all about you
- Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too; -
--- Rudyard Kipling
