“Because my future doctor is going to go to school, as is the person who makes my dinner in the nursing home. I want to be cared-for by educated people. I want there to be art and good books and fun movies.”

During the “Wicked” TV Special, Marissa Bode who plays Nessa Rose, introduced the song “Defying Gravity” saying “Elphaba stands up to a power-hungry dictator” (a remark which earned thunderous applause). Though entirely true in the context of the narrative, her comment was censored and cut by NBC.

"An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind". My interpretation of Ghandi, though no one seems to be sure he said it.
But when thinking about collective reactions to violence, it's worth remembering (no matter how you might feel abt the deaths of uniformed combatants on any side) that families mourn the death of their children, & those deaths become justification for another war. Everywhere, among all peoples.
