"Ignorance and hate are no longer the great evils that plague mankind. Now it is greed and apathy. Hunger, disease, war, genocide, injustice, and greed; together we can put a stop to these evils.

Our path may be paved in blood and fire, but we cannot stray, our path is the righteous one. Some will call me evil, but what is one man's terrorist, but another man's freedom fighter?"
