Es brilig war. Die schlichte Toven
Wirrten und wimmelten in Waben;
Und aller-m" umsige Burggoven
Dir mohmen R" ath ausgraben.

Nothing in the world can take place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent.
The slogan `Press On` has solved and always will solve the
problems of the human race.
-Calvin Coolidge
Amherst Fiji `94

lwvanels (Lucien Van Elsen):
The Bush administration has at least one honest cabinet member. Newly
appointed Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan admitted to reporters that he
doesn't understand how the federales sell and lease land for coal mining and
offshore oil drilling. The admission about a major responsibility of his
department came after Lujan flip-flopped all over the place during a 35-minute
press conference. "I don't know," he finally conceded. "Scratch whatever I
said about all that, because I didn't know what I was talking about. I'm just
developing as I talk here. I shouldn't be doing that. That's how I get
myself into trouble."

rlcarr (Rich Carreiro):
Welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy, and I became aware this year.
If you want to follow me, you've got to play pinball.
So put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades
And you know where to put the cork!
Hey you gettin' drunk, so sorry I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking mother nature, this is a bust.
Hey hung up old mister mormal, don't try to gain my trust.
Cuz you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways,
Although you think you must.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna take it.
Never did and never will.
We're not gonna take it,
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
Let's forget it better still.
Now you can't hear me; your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either; your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing, and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it!
Never did and never will.
Don't want no religion, and as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you,
Never did and never will.
We're not gonna take you,
We forsake you,
Gonna rape you,
Let's forget you better still!
We forsake you,
Gonna rape you,
Let's forget you better still.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
-- chorus --
Listening to you, I get the music.
Gazing at you, I get the heat.
Following you, I climb the mountain,
I get excitement at your feet!
Right behind you, I see the millions.
On you, I see the glory.
From you, I get opinions.
From you, I get the story.
-- repeat chorus 3 times --
"We're Not Gonna Take It!"

The Who
