Quote of the Day

"[Changing the underlying values that govern our society] is hard to fit into a single media-friendly demand, and it's also hard to figure out how to do it. But it is no less urgent for being difficult. That is what I see happening in this square. In the way you are feeding each other, keeping each other warm, sharing information freely and proving health care, meditation classes and empowerment training. My favorite sign here says, 'I care about you.' In a culture that trains people to avoid each other's gaze, to say, 'Let them die,' that is a deeply radical statement."Naomi Klein, in her speech to Occupy Wall Street.
