I'm now working at a language school and raising money to head to Rafah, in Gaza to work with the Olympia-Rafah Sister City Project. Send me a message if you're interested in pitching in and I'll give you the full skinny on how. Or, just support my pal Maysoon's Kids . You'll feel all warm and fuzzy about it and you'll be doing something neat. Or help out this this refugee camp in Uganda , run by Calvin and Suzanne, two incredible people I got to meet in Olympia last year through ITTP . "We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men; Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were - for the moment - unpopular.— Edward R. Murrow "The first thing we see as we travel around the world is our own filth, thrown into the face of mankind." — Claude Lévi-Strauss, Tristes Tropiques "You don't make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas." — Shirley Chisholm, presidential candidate in 1972 and the first African-American woman to win a seat in the United States Congress "It's more difficult to get publications to focus on issues that are more critical. It's never been easy, and I think in the last few years it's gotten more difficult as society becomes more obseesed with entertainment, celebrity and fashion. Advertisers are tired of having their products displayed next to images of human tragedy; they feel that it somehow detracts from the saleability of their products." — James Nachtwey, photojournalist "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be." — Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night "Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man." — Aung San Suu Kyi "Some came and took our land, forced us to leave, forced us to live in camps. I think this is terrorism. Using means to resist this terrorism and stop its effects - this is called struggle." — Leila Khaled "But who's afraid of war? That's to say, who's afraid of the bombs and the machine-guns? 'You are', you say. Yes, I am, and so's anybody who's ever seen them. But it isn't the war that matters, it's the after-war. The world we're going down into, the kind of hate-world, slogan-world. The coloured shirts, the barbed wire, the rubber truncheons. The secret cells where the electric light burns night and day, and the detectives watching you while you sleep. And the processions and the posters with enormous faces, and the crowds of a million people all cheering for the Leader till they deafen themselves into thinking that they really worship him, and all the time, underneath, they hate him so that they want to puke. It's all going to happen." — George Orwell Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
