“Poetry is a dangerous profession between conflict and resolution, between feeling and thought, between becoming and being, between the ultra-personal and the universal - and these balances are shifting all the time.” FeelingsDangerousBecomingBalanceConflictUniversalProfessionPoetry IsResolutionShiftingUltras Author:May Sarton
“I think that there are no forces on this planet more dangerous to us all than the fanaticisms of fundamentalism, of all the species: Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, as well as countless smaller infections.

“The criticisms that are often presented to us by some in the conservative Jewish community about our Palestinian version are: first, that the U.S. is not in conflict with "Palestine" (quotes are theirs) and second, that Conflict Kitchen should counter the Palestinian viewpoints it presents with pro-Israeli viewpoints, otherwise we are spreading dangerous propaganda.” ShouldFirstsCommunityDangerousConflictCriticismConservativeVersionsPropagandaKitchenPalestinianPalestineIsraeliViewpointsJewish Community Author:Jon Rubin
“In the nearer term, the likeliest source of risk is a conflict between China and the U.S. These are now the two largest economies in the world, and the combination of their economic interdependence, the sharp differences in their political and economic values, and the growing divergence in their interests makes this relationship potentially dangerous for everyone who might be affected by it - which means pretty much everyone.” WorldMeanTwoMightPoliticalValuesTermInterestDifferencesEconomyGrowingRiskEconomicDangerousSourceConflictChinaCombinationAffectedInterdependenceDivergenceEconomic Value Author:Ian Bremmer
“Any move by Israel to end the conflict with the Palestinians by unilateral moves - such as annexing the West Bank, delinking Gaza and declaring that there be no further diplomatic process - will lead to strong regional and global reactions, as well as intensify efforts at the UN and in civil society to brand Israel as an outlaw state dangerous to regional and world peace and guilty of criminal behavior.” WorldWellsEndsStatesMovingStrongProcessEffortDangerousConflictBehaviorWestIsraelCriminalsReactionsGuiltyBrandsPalestinianCivil SocietyDiplomaticOutlawGazaDeclaringCriminal Behavior Author:Richard A.

“It's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods. These laws try to fix something that was never broken. There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if - and the 'if' is important - if no safe retreat is available. But we must examine laws that take this further by eliminating the common sense and age-old requirement that people who feel threatened have a duty to retreat, outside their home, if they can do so safely.” PeopleIfsFeelsTryingImportantSelfHomeAgeLawForceCan DoDangerousDutyBrokenSafeConflictConceptsAvailableDefenseNeighborhoodRequirementsThreatenedRetreatSelf DefenseEliminatingIfs AndDeadly Force Author:Eric Holder
