for all us street kids, for all us wildlings, when sinead got huge, it felt like one of us made it. It was incredible. im not trying to compare myself or anyone else to sinead, she is one of a kind, but thats what it felt like to me. like she was one of us. she was like billie holiday to me. All her pain, all her beauty, those incredible songs. she deserves sainthood.

...Germany, on the other hand, in an act of deep patriotism, teaches the full, brutal truth about the Nazis. Lying about the true history of the nazis is a crime in Germany. And it does not make German young people feel "guilty" about being German. It makes them angry at.../12

I don't think it's the human race that decided not to save itself. It's Americans who've decided on behalf of the human race that it's more important to defend our rich and powerful than save our species.
