• Los nigerianos de a pie han vivido como vecinos a lo largo de milenios. Me refería a los británicos, que vinieron y fusionaron toda una serie de miniestados y grandes estados en una sola unidad. Pero esos pueblos siempre estuvieron ahí y siempre se las arreglaron para vivir codo con codo con sus vecinos. Así que no eran propiedad de un reino ni estaban dirigidos por él. No era prácticamente imposible que estos pueblos fueran vecinos cuando tenían lenguas y religiones diferentes. Así que es ese hábito de vecindad el que se destruye y se somete a una gran tensión una y otra vez cuando se producen cosas como las masacres.

• There are lots of grounds for hope in Israeli society. We are seeing Israelis getting fed up with war, looking for solutions. The youngest soldiers are refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. Some are volunteering for army combat units but are refusing to serve in the Occupied Territories. We have the elite of the Israeli army, the air force pilots, some of them refusing orders which they consider illegal.

• I think there's a group of students - whether it's the micro-aggression or the safe space or the trigger warning that garner a lot of attention - but that the fundamental issues that they're more interested in are - and I'll be very frank here - how much money do I pay for a unit? And what is that unit going to do for me when I'm graduating?And even though this is mostly in a progressive landscape, they're asking questions that have not been asked of the university. And the university can't supply answers to them.

• In Chicago, you have an absence of strong family units, and that absence gets filled by gangs. You have a failure in the school system, after-school programs and other social programs to help keep kids off the streets. Amnesty International speaks to that in some way, by keeping these issues in the forefront.

• Here's the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family.

• Without evading the grimness of life in much of modern Africa, one can recognize that this continent is not yet sick as our continent is sick. Most Africans remain plugged into reality.
