easter

"We know that we are like kinds, and we should work together to make this as good an experience as possible.

Tikkun Olam -- let us repair the universe.

Now Islam believes that. Buddhism that has no god believes it. Every ethical humanist I ever met believes it.

Those two principles: we're supposed to love one another and we're supposed to work together to make the experience better. That's all the religion you need, really, to make a success of this planet."

Mario Cuomo (1932 -     )
52nd Governor of New York

Happy Easter
