"/The Cold War has been the most irritating thing to me personally.
Throughout my life we`ve been in the grip of militarism and military
budgets and a mindset that dictates a war on Communism, and that`s a
drain on the national energy. The real enemy is nationalism and
patriotism/." ~Oliver Stone
"/Dreams of changing America into something that would end this
oppression, or any of the horrors inflicted on humanity, are toxic
illusions that keep people chained to the very system that's responsible
for all this oppression./" ~ Carl Dix, 2013
