I stole this from Mark Maynard, but in my defense, I mentioned this guy's book about a month ago, so it's not a complete steal...

This interview is really interesting, and not something that should be considered partisan. I read the paragraph below and tried to image the thoughts and feelings that must have been running through this man's head as he was standing there, looking at what was left of the world trade center, knowing that he was partly responsible.

"...But when 9/11 struck, I was in the Amazon at the time. I went up to New York a few weeks later and sat there and I could still smell the burning flesh and see the smoke coming out of that hole, and I sat there and I knew that I had to take responsibility for what had happened there. I knew that I had to expose the truth because what happened at Ground Zero is a direct result of the empire building, of what we economic hit men did, and I knew as I sat there that if we don't do something to change the course we're on in the world, my daughter basically has no future and certainly her children don't".

Anyways, take a minute to read this short conversation [that includes you, Mom - I know you think I'm crazy... this might help my case].
