Dangerous sustainability
June 19th, 2006There must be something about sustainability that is pretty scarily dangerous.

Never forget
June 17th, 2006Walls degrade.
When you tear down the walls
they are not gone.
Walls can be surmounted.
Move.
Walls can be burrowed through.
Dig.
To be one, to be united is a great thing.
But to respect the right to be different
is maybe even greater.
— Paul David Hewson
