“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

“Right now - and this is something Donald [Trump] has supported, along with the gun lobby - right now, we've got too many military- style weapons on the streets. In a lot of places, our police are outgunned. We need comprehensive background checks, and we need to keep guns out of the hands of those who will do harm.” NeedsHandsStreetsMilitaryStyleTrumpRight NowWeaponsGunPoliceHarmBackgroundsChecksComprehensiveBackground Checks Author:Hillary Clinton
“Right now we have a $600-billion or so Defense Department budget, but when you add in, for example, a trillion-dollar nuclear weapons program over the next decade or two, it adds significantly to it. So it's somewhere around $600 billion. We call for approximately cutting that in half and instead putting those dollars into true security here at home.” TwoHomeNextHalfCuttingSecurityExampleRight NowWeaponsProgramDollarsAddDefenseDecadesNuclearBillionsBudgetsDepartmentNuclear Weapons Author:Jill Stein
“In the meantime, we have just incredible economic disparities and economic despair in this country and an entire generation that is basically held hostage in debt without the jobs to get out of it. And this is not a world that's working for us, and the climate is going up in flames right now, and the wars are expanding, and we've got 2,000 nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert.

“You have to negotiate from positions of strength. And right now with Iran, we're not negotiating from a position of strength. The Europeans are negotiating from the position of "Please give up your nuclear weapons program, and by the way if you do we'll give you several boatloads of carrots."

“The animosity between India and Pakistan is deeply unfortunate and dangerous, and it's something I've long campaigned to reduce. But right now, when there's artillery being exchanged in Kashmir - which is not for from here, either - and there are 100-ish nuclear weapons on each side of the border, there's never really been a case like this where two nuclear armed countries are happily shelling each other.” LongTwoCountrySidesCasesDangerousRight NowWeaponsIndiaNuclearBordersNuclear WeaponsUnfortunatePakistanAnimosityArtilleryKashmirIndia And Pakistan Author:Mohsin Hamid
“If you want to find weapons of destruction, you can find them all over the place. Take, say, Israel. There is a very great concern right now about proliferation of nuclear weapons, as there should be. Israel has a couple of hundred nuclear weapons and also chemical and biological weapons. This stockpile is not only a threat in itself but encourages others to proliferate in reaction and in self-defense. Is anybody saying anything about this?” IfsWantShouldSelfCoupleRight NowWeaponsHundredConcernDestructionThreatIsraelDefenseNuclearReactionsChemicalsNuclear WeaponsSelf DefenseProliferationBiological Weapons Author:Noam Chomsky
