    People in power often fight to hold on to their power, often time is the only thing that removes them from power.

    Time is the enemy of power, power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely

    Ha --- bra Dan --- are you quoting Rass Kass?

    Bloody awesome, mate if you are that is ---- I dig this line from that track:

    "it ain't baseball, Americas favourite pastime is white supremacy, never see a nigga granted clemency. My metaphors are meta-five" - Rass Kass (from Rassasination).

    Word is bond.

    But Dan, ER 1 was a monarch, which means she was supposed to be in power until death. I doubt she was advocating for democracy. I suspect she was aware of the fact that time limits power eventually. During he age, that passage of time brought death with it and thus the loss of power. No defeating time. You are right though about the modern implications of that statement. Democratic time frames if adhered to would curtail this power.

    life is (a) time(frame).

    Eskom is Power's number 1 enemy ante e

    Mara George: this is one of fav's from you. Hands down! It has a beautiful circular glass effect. As though you're viewing it from the inside of a glass ball. Beautiful man! It's poetic.

    the cool thing about film is that you dont have a preview - you tend to rely on you good eye at most times.
