Quotations

"I think it is immoral (if not unconstitutional) that more than half of our tax dollars are used to pay for current and past wars. If instead this money were invested in peace initiatives and aid programs, we could truly build a better and more secure world." (Letter to editor, March 17, 2007; photo http://bit.ly/As0BfA)
