Edward Bunker
“I can’t believe the way they’re building prisons. Then they fill ‘em up with damn fools on nickel-and-dime drug cases. They make maniacs of ‘em up there, and then turn them loose on the public. It’s like they were growin’ maniacs in hothouses.”
Edward Bunker, Dog Eat Dog

Naomi Klein
“Reconciliation means that those who have been on the underside of history must see that there is a qualitative difference between repression and freedom. And for them, freedom translates into having a supply of clean water, having electricity on tap; being able to live in a decent home and have a good job; to be able to send your children to school and to have accessible health care. I mean, what's the point of having made this transition if the quality of life of these people is not enhanced and improved? If not, the vote is useless.'
-archbishop Desmond Tutu, chair of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Committee, 2001”
Naomi Klein
