Quote of the day comes from Senator Claire McCaskill, in summing up the situation in Iraq:

"Contracting was out of control. It was the wild, wild West. There was no competition. There was money being wasted. There were pallets of money disappearing. There were things being built that weren't even functioning."

Stat of the day comes from the congressional Commission on Wartime Contracting:

$3 of every $10 that U.S. taxpayers spent on wartime contracting over the last decade went up in smoke due to waste and fraud.

"The book is very well written...very important in this individualized capitalistic illusory world that enslaves us all within its tentacles and forces us to believe that we are atomized and disconnected beings. Indigenous Lakota people end prayers with "Mitakuye Oyasin...all my relations..." An ancient African proverb states, "A person is a person only because of and with others..." This instructive text is very useful for us living in what we are always told is the modern world, because it reconnects us all and reminds us that ultimately, the endless circle of the Universe binds and connects us all and the Earth is Mother to us with no hierarchy...the ones at the bottom matter the most...like the ants who build mounds and hills, all working in unison and harmony...the book teaches that we were created for community and our destiny is organic community...anything else is doomed..."

Julian Kunnie, Professor of Religious Studies/Classics at the University of Arizona and author of The Cost of Globalization: Dangers to the Earth and Its People
