my parents gave me this wonderful book for christmas. i encourage you to explore his site.
here is a quote from it:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hope of its children... This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging, from a cross of iron."
Dwight Eisenhower, the last great Republican.

I like the way he paints light on his portraits faces...They look warm and friendly.
I liked this quote from him "We see hegemony and greed thinly veiled behind patriotism and security. We get pre-emptive war instead of pre-emptive planning for a sustainable future. The greatness of our country is being tested and will be measured not by its military might but by its restraint, compassion, and wisdom."
Thanks for the link...very much!!
