I'm a pacifist. I believe there are ways to solve the world's problems. Instead of putting all this money to create arms, I think countries should invest in scholarships for kids to study abroad.

 the oldest pacifist organization in the country. But if there's common ground to be had there, yeah, I'll partner with them. It's not easy. The approach means we need to find love. We need to get back to that shared humanity and that commons. But I know this love, it doesn't just get us through Thanksgiving dinner.
