Sunil Yapa
“What was it he [Dr. Charles Wickramsinghe of Sri Lanka] had heard in the street so many times today? Fair trade, not free trade. Well, the big boys -- the developed countries -- couldn't have either, if none of the former colonies agreed to participate. No factories for their clothes, no mines for their minerals, no markets for their subsidized rice and corn. Nobody to trade with, if that's what you wanted to call it. Charles was going to make sure they didn't go another round. He straightened his suit and stepped from the back door of the Sheraton. He looked down the street to where those city buses were parked. But first he was going to get some people out of jail.”
Sunil Yapa, Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist

“We are approaching a time where the continents will go back to being isolated colonies, as climate change and global warming will make it too dangerous to travel internationally.”
Steven Magee
