My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity, at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can't communicate.

Thus pride may seem to be nothing but a frame of mind belonging unto our wealth and dignity, or our ... abilities; sensuality may seem to be but a lawful participation of the good things of this life; passion and peevishness, but a due sense of the want of respect that we must suppose owing unto us; covetousness, a necessary care of ourselves and of our families. If the seeds of sin are covered with such pretences, they will in time spring up and bear bitter fruit in the minds and the lives of men; and the beginning of all apostasy, both in religion and in morality, lies in just such pretences. Men plead that they can do so-and-so lawfully, until they can do things openly unlawful.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's getting better every day. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40723]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's getting better every day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An angry man, when he returns to reason, will be again angry with himself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51585]]></link><description><![CDATA[An angry man, when he returns to reason, will be again angry with himself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust your hunches.
