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

Hi Friends,
Please tune in either on the radio or online to this important program. I will be a guest along with others from online media to discuss how we are being denied access to public meetings and our Representatives. We believe this is a First Amendment issue and we need your support.
Tune in, please.

ONLINE JOURNALISTS GET STONEWALLED, DENIED ACCESS!!
Just who is and who is not a journalist? Who decides? Does it matter?
Minnesota House Majority Leader Tony Sertich continues to stonewall
equal access for some media and not others to the floor and in
committee meetings/hearings.
On Tuesday, Feb. 24, DFL Rep. Sertich refused to allow "his" Rules and
Legislative Administration Committee to consider an amendment (HRA
007) to House Rule 2.42, authored by Republican Committee member Steve
Smith who was not present at today's Rules Committee meeting. Thus did
Rep. Sertich declare consideration of Smith's amendment to insert
online journalism into House Rule 2.40/2.42 out of order, lacking the
presence of its author.
TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL and LYNNELL MICKELSEN discuss the role and
importance of New Media (online journalism) in providing professional,
informed journalism, but also to challenge the Majority Leader's
assertion that allowing online journalists onto the House floor opens
a Pandora's box of bloggers and cameras into an already chaotic arena.
We discuss the practical flaws in Rep. Sertich's reasoning, given the
reality of applications for floor access, etc.
This is not a question of practicality, but of principle. The
principle is embedded in the First Amendment, in the Rule itself
(stating flatly that ALL accredited media MUST be allowed in), and
based on the ethics of equal treatment under laws and rules governing
access to public institutions. The dispute may narrow to the meaning
and definition of "accredited," but who does the accrediting? In this
day and age, "accredited" can apply to an ever-widening range of media
resources. And one might well wonder if Mr. Sertich is applying any of
these rules and principles even-handedly.
