• Even though Hubbard is dead, his business still repeats his lies, ... and in my opinion the proposed Act should also punish businesses and organizations that repeat such falsehoods.

• Caught like a leaf in the wind
  Lookin' for a friend
  Where can you turn
  Whisper the words of a prayer and you'll find Him there
  Arms open wide, love in His eyes
  Jesus - He meets you where you are
  Jesus - He heals your secret scars
  All the love you're looking for is Jesus
  The friend of a wounded heart

  Wayne Watson

• What we did in the 1960s and early 1970s was raise the consciousness of white America that this government has a responsibility to Indian people. That there are treaties; that textbooks in every school in America have a responsibility to tell the truth. An awareness reached across America that if Native American people had to resort to arms at Wounded Knee, there must really be something wrong. And Americans realized that native people are still here, that they have a moral standing, a legal standing. From that, our own people began to sense the pride.

Without wounds and failure and frustrations and defeats, there will be no opening for his brilliance to tickle in and invade our lives.
