Quotable Quotes:
Independence days are a means of the rulers to delay the
consciousness of the people that they are not
independent of them. Independence-day celebrations are
rhetoric for the powerful that keeps the weak in their
lethargy.
The weak of those respective countries actually partake
in the celebrations with different fantasies.Workers for
example see the day as a (fun)'break',
chauvinistic people see the day as self-flattery, wicked
people see the day as a hate valve. Was July 4 in the US
this year about freedom from the British?

"Critical pedagogy is a process of learning and
relearning. It entails
a sometimes painful reexamination
of old practices and established
belief of educational institutions
and behaviors. Critical pedagogy causes one to make
inquiries about equality and justice. Sometimes these
inequalities are subtle and covert. The process requires
courage and patience. Courage promotes change and
democracy provides learners equal access to power."
Lily, a teacher, is cited in Joan Wink's
"Critical Pedagogy: Notes from the real world."
(Longman-1997-p. 60)
"From these pages I hope
at least the following
will endure: my trust in the people, and
my faith
in men and women, and in the creation of the
world in which it will be easier to live"
----Paolo Freire,
