“Just A Simple Choice, Right Now, Between Fear And Love. The Eyes Of Fear Want You To Put Bigger Locks
“Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.” - Bill Hicks

Bill Moyers Question: Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt is a tough book. It’s not Dispatches from Disneyworld. It paints some very stark portraits of poverty, despair, destructive behaviour. What makes you think people want to read that sort of thing these days?
Chris Hedges Answer: That’s not a question that Joe Sacco and I ever asked. It is absolutely imperative that we begin to understand what unfettered, unregulated capitalism does – the violence of that system.
