"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."-Albert Einstein

It is the worst disease to afflict human beings, violence is. There is nothing more obscene than an act of violence, and nothing more cowardly than a government that sends it's young men and women to fight their dirty wars. So long as people continue to be complacent and accepting of the propaganda machine that is our government, our brothers and sisters will continue to die, needlessly by the thousands. We are quite unevolved despite our computers and air conditioners.

Indeed. And we go on thinking that, somehow, because we're Americans, we have some divine right to cheap computers, air conditioning, and wide-screen TVs with 200 channels, acquired on the backs of people in other countries working for pennies a day. And we'll kill to keep it all.

Great film clip. I was sad when Kucinich dropped out of the presidential race.
