Schmidt Happens

"But, why does every crisis automatically fall to the United States to solve? We’ve got Iraq, Iran, North Korea—and these are people who might murder us. We’re supposed to tend to a bunch of Africans killing each other? Why? Because we’re Americans? The answer is . . . yes. Because we’re Americans. Because we’re a nation—perhaps the nation—that’s supposed to give a damn. What’s going on is an organized extermination of an entire race of people. We’re the country that’s supposed to give a damn. Miss Schmidt, Miss Colson, your claim here most likely won’t survive summary judgment. And maybe the American people don’t care about what’s happening over there, but for today, here, now—at least one federal court judge does."



Everyone needs to care about something. We all need to learn about this world, engage.

One world, one love, one peace...united.
