of the earth's resources, of the discoveries of scientists, and of the efforts
of mankind, from hunger, disease, illiteracy, and fear; and that we shall in the
course of time be enabled to build a world characterized by economic, political,
and social justice for all human beings and a culture worthy of man's intelligence.

“Kids
don’t have a little brother working in the coal mine, they don’t have a little
sister coughing her lungs out in the looms of the big mill towns of the Northeast.
Why? Because we organized; we broke the back of the sweatshops in this country;
we have child labor laws. Those were not benevolent gifts from enlightened management.
They were fought for, they were bled for, they were died for by working people,
by people like us. Kids ought to know that. That’s why I sing these songs. That’s
why I tell these stories, dammit. No root, no fruit!”
-- Utah

The
international community should support a system of laws to regularize international
relations and maintain the peace in the same manner that law governs national
order."
