Thought for the Day

When you look back at people who adopt ideas that are... uh... unnerving to the powerful... the idea, for example, that the Haitian poor just want poverty with dignity and a few basic rights: y'know, clean water, to go to school, etc. Those are profoundly disturbing ideas in some circles. And they're profoundly popular ideas among the poor themselves.
