Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall far behind?


"It can't just be about slowing the rate of destruction. It has to be about speeding the rate of creation" --Tom Hayden of the Chicago 7.

If you don't know about the trial of the Chicago 7, you should try and look it up. There's a documentary, done mostly in really outdated computer animation on the trial which is laughable at times, but still really good. This quote was uttered at the 1998 protests in Seattle that effectively shut down WTO conferences. It was a line that I heard yesterday. I heard it and then I had goosebumps.
Now I think I'm going to adopt it as the mantra of my life.
Which makes this thing seem utterly insignificant, but its something.
