It counts special locks for our doors, and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwoods, and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm, nuclear warheads, and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities.

It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile." - Robert F Kennedy, 1968Video
