"We hear from time to time about horrible human rights atrocities happening around the globe. Our government claims that it stands in favor of human rights, and our leaders are in the news demanding consequences for other countries that are abusing their populations.

In any case, the eyes have it, and the imagination will always soar farther than was expected.”
