Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

Paratroopers interested in anti-war sentiment
...almost all they ask about are the war protests back in the United States. They only get snippets of information about life back home, and want to know how widespread the protests are, and how common the anti-war feelings are...
...I asked if he thought some protesters might be against the war, but still support the troops. I've heard a couple of dozen soldiers talking about the protests, and this is a distinction I haven't heard them raise. It may also be a distinction that protesters haven't thought about much. When soldiers ask me about the protests, I bring this up as a possibility, but few buy the idea...
I think it's very important that these distinctions are clear. If they haven't considered the possibility, then we aren't making that distinction clear enough. posted by Cyndy | link |
