hello

(My Masterpiece)

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

FIA launches anti-racism campaign at same circuit where Hamilton taunted

BARCELONA, Spain - Formula One's governing body launched a subdued anti-racism campaign Thursday at the same track where Spanish fans taunted black driver Lewis Hamilton.

FIA unveiled the "Everyrace" campaign in response to the racist abuse directed at the McLaren driver during winter testing here Feb. 2.

Widely publicized photographs showed a group of people in the Catalunya Circuit stands wearing dark face paint with T-shirts displaying the slogan "Hamilton's Family."

The anti-racism campaign was launched on the www.everyrace.net website after FIA agreed with the Spanish Automobile Federation's assessment that the incident was "not at all representative of the thousands of people who enjoy a convivial atmosphere and the spectacle offered by motorsport."

The website allows visitors to pledge support for the initiative via e-mail alongside morphing photos of faces of different countries involved in F1.

"I believe that motor sport, like all other sports, is about freedom of expression in the pursuit of competition and excellence," Hamilton said in a statement. "Nothing more, nothing less."

FIA president Max Mosley was not present to endorse the plan.

Mosley's future is in jeopardy after a British tabloid reported that the 68-year-old Briton engaged in sex acts with five prostitutes in London that involved Nazi role-playing.

"One thing that most attracted me to motor sport was that nobody cared about your background, race, gender or religion; all that mattered was how quick you were," Mosley said in a statement for the anti-racism program.

F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone said earlier this year the Spanish incidents were blown out of proportion and he wanted to meet the alleged racists this weekend.

"The sport is all about a driver's ability and this will never have anything to do with their race or the colour of their skin," Ecclestone said.

World champion Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa of Brazil were among several F1 drivers and team leaders who joined in the anti-racism plan.

Let's send letters to the Formula 1 promoters and give them a wake-up call!!!!!!!
This is not acceptable behaviour by fans and they should have evicted the perpetrators so that it was very clear that actions like they commited would not be tolerated and would be quickly dealt with.
At least the public would have an understanding that this is the position of the promoters and that anyone considering an attempt of doing something of this nature will be handled in like fashion, or some other penalty imposed upon them for their offensive action...

Let's make some noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings Gilbert,

I saw this article in the news and it upset me quite a bit!
I know that these jerks that committed the infraction were clowns that deserve no recognition, but what bothers me is that the media by default are giving them what they most desire, wide recognition.
Check this article out and notice my response at the bottom of the article!!!!!!!! There is a need here to educate the media that they have a double edged sword that they are toying with and it has to be handled in a manner that doesn't place the vulnerable into a more deleterious position. Go get them in your expose!!!! Clayton

hi
thank you for your invite
