Kim handed me a plate of shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce... and chopped onions last night at Albert's and said... "here, have a salad". So... I did.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
