Moles taught us how to dig tunnels.
Beavers dam it.
Birds build houses.
Spiders knit.
Barrel rolling down the hill helped us to reinvent the wheel.
The trunk, adrift is to make the ship.
The wind taught us to sail.
From whom, then we've picked up these nasty habits?
Who taught us to humiliate the middle and mock the world around you?

Kissinger had written the epitaph of Allende and Chilean democracy long before he commented on the election results: "I see no reason why we should stand by and watch a country become Communist due to the irresponsibility of its own citizens." The disregard for the ordinary people - one of the many things that are common to state and private terrorism. <...> All these merceologici agree on one thing: the desire to reduce social, cultural and national differences to the question of military force. In the name of the struggle between Good and Evil, in the name of real Truth, they first kill and then ask questions. And thus they reinforce the enemy with whom you fight.
Quote Explanation: Political essay "the Theatre of Good and Evil". Newspaper "La Jornada", 21 September 2001. [This refers to the terrorist acts of 11 September 2001]
