About Me



"It is the more cold, the more evil, when it comes from those who are so well informed and cannot help but recognize that they are lying to themselves about this child whom they used to know in those remarkable days of blue jeans and bare feet, but now in settled adulthood, with an infant of their own, cannot remember." -Jonathan Kozol"There's a really easy way to stop terrorism. Stop participating in it." - Noam Chomsky
