Quotations
“To obtain sufficient funding to repair the world, we must reallocate much of the world’s military funding, which consumes about $1.7 trillion per year. Since nuclear weapons are both useless and dangerous, we can disarm those first.” (Dec. 27, 2013, Metta Spencer’s Weblog; photo mettaspencer.com)
