What was the most interesting place you’ve traveled to?
By far, the most interesting placce i’ve ever been was Greece. I got to go there as part of a course during my undergraduate work at Transylvania University. It was amazing to stand at the Parthenon and feel the weight of history.
If the Internet and TV didn’t exist, what would you spend most of your time doing?
I’d read. I read obsessively anyway, and before the internet existed and before I had a tv to watch all the time that’s what I did.
Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
