We can't easily change the underlying beliefs and prejudices that do so much damage to women worldwide. We cannot quickly change attitudes, but we can change behaviour. At the World Food Programme we have recognized what a valuable tool food aid can be in changing behaviour. In so many poorer countries food is money, food is power. In some of our most successful food aid projects, we literally pay families who do not believe in educating their daughters to send those girls to school. A little free cooking oil can go a long way. We trade a 5 litre can of oil for 30 days of school attendance by a young girl. Yes, it's bribery. We don't apologize for that. We are changing behaviour, we are giving hope and opportunity to young girls and that is all that counts. Each small change in behaviour will one day pay off in a change in attitude." http://www.un.org/esa/gopher-data/conf/fwcw/conf/una/950906150325.txt 6 Reply Mike, Chicago 8/2/09 re: Patrick Henry quote "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." - Thomas Jefferson "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth." - George Washington Reply Mike, Chicago 4/13/08 re: United States Supreme Court quote This quote appears all over the internet. I have used it many times myself. But, when you read the case, you will find that this quote does not appear at all. There is something that is somewhat similar, but certainly not the same. The case actually says, "...the subpoena is in form an official command, and even though improvidently issued it has some coercive tendency, either because of ignorance of their rights on the part of those whom it purports to command or their natural respect for what appears to be an official command, or because of their reluctance to test the subpoena's validity by litigation."
