Now we ve got another war. This one s scary, too, and somehow it s easier than ever to push things away and not think about them. People of my generation are now out driving urban artillery tanks to pick up steaks at the supermarket. On the surface, the racism s not blatant. And, my God, NATO looks like a bunch of high tech heroes dropping justice via smart bombs that are supposed to know a missile silo from a Belgrade suburb.
College campuses are quiet.
But inside us, there s a voice saying the world s still in chaos. We ve got to listen to each other. We ve got to talk. Don t ever think that you re living in a time when there s no cause to fight for. All you need to do is look around.
