Three Quotes:

— Edward Said
“War is the most profitable business on earth”
— Kenneth Eade
“The stories we tell about who we are as a nation, and the values that define us, are not fixed. They change as facts change. They change as the balance of power in society changes. Which is why regular people, not just governments, need to be active participants in this process of retelling and reimagining our collective stories, symbols, and histories.”
— Naomi Klein
