"I've had a vision. And what it is--although this is a world where good men are murdered in their prime and mediocre hacks thrive and proliferate--I gotta share this with you, because I love you and you feel that. You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense every year? Trillions of dollars. Correct?
Trillions. Instead, if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded--not ONE--we could, as one race, explore outer space together in peace. Forever."--Bill Hicks (RIP)
