We are still living in the aftershock of Hiroshima, people are still the scars of history.

It means something for us to know that history and get some feel for who the people were,

People who are poor who are living on the edge of poverty or who are living under poverty are tucked away some place else. I don't see them; they don't see me; we don't interact; we have no relation one to the other; no physical relation.

If you engage people on a vital, important level, they will respond.

When humanness is lost the radical difference between the bodies in the pit and people walking on the street is lost.

Based on the history of long-term economic planning . . . it is very hard to convince the people whom most of their lives have been in control to give up control.
