Behold the power of Cheese!

Er... Em... Yeah... Perception.

Amazing little concept if you stop to think about it... But you all know the talk, to lecture, on my alterings on perception, I'm sure.

It's the greatest weapon in the world. No one wants to admit it, but it kills thousands more than you could with any number of bombs. It stirs you into action, or inaction.

Welcome to power. Why is it that Charismatic leaders take over so easily? Why is it that you feel so safe in your home, in your car?

Interesting to think about.

Welcome to the darkness. It's not dark because it's evil. It's dark because the only thing that sepperates you from the black - from the evil - is that thin veil between the shadows.

It's dark because you're just as easily swayed to the perils of all to perish forever, as you are to become the savior of men, the king and herald of all men.

You've probably never thought of it. The power that you actually contain. Why have you never thought of it? You can't percieve it...

It's tragic actually because most times you fear it. You sit, you whimper in fear of a giant not realising that he's as helpless as a mouse should you stand your ground.

Power is being able to disappear when you're the loudest, most obnoxious, 6ft dork on the planet.

Perception is viewing me as those above things and reacting to them.

Forever we are trapped as mortals because we can't percieve our power. Limited by our perception, we are forever limited.

You shape your reality. Why are you lazy? Think about it. What stops you from talking to that crush of yours? Think about that.

Sit there and think of all of the things you never do, and never will.

Can you give an acceptable reason to any of them? Or is your answer something as pathetic as "what will they think of me?" or "I don't have the time?"

Indeed.

What is it this time that stops you?

...

Ironic in all of the fuss about freedoms... I hate to be cynical. But if the government wanted to take them, they would have them. If they wanted to give them, you'd have them. But they are not the only ones with that power.

You can take as much as your willing, and give better than you've ever gotten.

What I still find puzzling is Americans' recent acceptance, their willing to get slapped and given the finger over and over. Sure, they pout, sure they complain, but that just makes it easy.

I still challenge you. Pull out of your shell, pull up your power and stand for what you are, for what you believe in.

I have seen your passions before, you've taken the country by storm, the continent, and shown the world that you are not to be triffled with.

And what stops you now? Their rules...? Yours...? Where are you now, my heroes? Where are you going to make your stand? When? Not tomorrow, tomorrow is gone. There is no tomorrow as no plan survives first contact. Yesterday is burning, is a corpse for you to examine and learn from if you can, but is of no use to you now.

So are you going to forge new fire and knowledge from that flame? Or let it pass into a smouldering oblivion?

You are the only warrior here. They will not stand up in fight. You can.

You are the hero. You are the warrior, the peacekeeper, the saint if you only will it.

Stand ready, warrior, for many fear a tide of darkness has, is, and will be sweeping this land.

We need you to fight. We need you to bleed, and we need you to win. There is no other alternative. There is only victory.

Bring it on!
