“We all have choices. We can build walls or we can build bridges. We can give our talents to creating weapons of annihilation, as so many scientists have done, or we can work to find solutions to humanities greatest problems. Our orientation is found not only in our acts, but also in the policies we support or oppose.” GivingDoneProblemHumanityChoicesFoundSupportTalentPolicyWallCreatingWeaponsSolutionsScientistBridgesOrientationDisarmamentAnnihilationProblems And SolutionsSolution To A Problem Author:David Krieger

“The crystal ball has a question mark in its center. There are some fundamental choices to be made. We will either choose to continue to wage a hopeless war to preserve the existing architecture for copyright by upping the stakes and using better weapons to make sure that people respect it.

“Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.” WorldWantYearsHumansEyeTogetherChoicesCan DoHuman BeingsSimpleSpacePoorPayForeverDoorsRight NowWeaponsGunAnd LoveBiggerDefenseChanging The WorldClothingsLocksFeedingExcludedLosing YourselfLove And FearEyes Of Love Author:Bill Hicks
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon--destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroyus. A nation that doesn't read much doesn't know much. And a nation that doesn't know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.” KnowsShouldChildrenBookHomeChoicesReadingNationsChallengesPoorCommonPovertyGenerationsIgnoranceDespairWeaponsGunUltimateBoxesCommon SenseVotingConvinceDestroyingFuture GenerationMarketplaceJuryPoor ChoicesCarrying Guns Book:The Read-aloud Handbook Source: The Read-aloud Handbook
“It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor. The choice is between multiplication of results using strenths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre.

“I believe everybody in the world should have guns. Citizens should have bazookas and rocket launchers too. I believe that all citizens should have their weapons of choice.
