this is one of the slogans on the square I think often: "let's see who lives longer" even when all other hopes are exhausted, this is the last hope. individuals are fragile and temporary. the demand for justice and freedom will outlive us all. #June4th

People keep givin’ me the same old pitch: “If you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?” I’ve heard that all my life, and I know it by heart. And to tell the truth, I wish I knew, But, America, I’m askin’ you: "If you’re so rich.... Why ain’t you smart?" --Tom Lehrer, from Deep Doodoo, 1992
