SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

U.S. 8th Circuit Court Of Appeals / Ex-representative loses court appeal
Pioneer Press
Article Last Updated: 06/06/2007 08:21:37 PM CDT
Former state lawmaker Loren Jennings, convicted of federal money laundering and mail fraud charges, lost his appeal Wednesday.
A jury convicted the former House member in July 2005 for using his elected position to steer public funds to his private business. A judge sentenced him to four years in prison and ordered him to pay $569,000 in fines and penalties.
The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Jennings' claims that there was insufficient evidence to convict him, that the judge made mistakes during the trial and again erred in ordering Jennings to forfeit his personal gain from the scheme.
Jennings is currently serving time in a federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons Web site.
Jennings offered no apologies for his crimes. The DFLer from Harris, Minn., said the only thing he did wrong was trust an unscrupulous business partner.
Jennings, 55, served in the state House from 1985 to 2002. Jennings used his position as chairman of the Regulated Industries Committee to steer money from a utility-ratepayers' conservation fund into a business in which he had substantial investments.
Prosecutors argued that Jennings intentionally hid his financial ties. Jennings' attorneys argued at trial that Minnesota law didn't require him to disclose the financial connection.
