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.

Madison — Independent Assembly candidate Ieshuh Griffin filed a federal writ of habeas corpus Thursday in an effort to put the phrase "not the 'whiteman's bitch'" on the ballot under her name this fall.
The filing in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee came a day after the state Government Accountability Board could not garner the votes to put the phrase on the ballot. Under state law, independent candidates are allowed to place statements of principle of up to five words on the ballot to tell voters what they stand for.
Staff for the board struck the phrase from the ballot because they deemed it pejorative. The board on Wednesday voted 3-2 to allow it on the ballot - one vote shy of the four needed.
Griffin promised Wednesday to file a lawsuit against the board, and on Thursday she submitted her paperwork in federal court.
"They have unlawfully held my liberty in their custody," she said Thursday.
Griffin is running to replace retiring Rep. Annette Polly Williams (D-Milwaukee). Three Democrats are running in the Sept. 14 primary, and the winner will face Griffin Nov. 2.
Griffin said she wanted the phrase on the ballot because it would show that she will fight the status quo.
"I'm saying the average politician rolls over to the system and I'm not that politician," she said.
Griffin did not pay the $5 filing fee, and the court must first determine whether the case can proceed without payment.
The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa.
