Thought for the Day

[bcholmes]

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.

— Paul Farmer, Aristide and the Endless Revolution
