Against the vast majority of my countrymen, even at this moment, in the name of humanity and civilization, i protest against our share in the destruction of germany. a month ago europe was a peaceful comity of nations; if an englishman killed a german, he was hanged. now, if an englishman kills a german, or if a german kills an englishman, he is a patriot, who has deserved well of his country.

Why did we become blind, i don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, do you want me to tell you what i think, yes, do, i don't think we did go blind, i think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.

Being blind is as simple as closing your eyes. the blind don't act any different than you or i. you never see a blind person going around saying, 'i'm blind.' so if you want to play blind just close your eyes and keep them closed and fare thee well.

Take for example providing a guide dog for a blind person. that's a good thing to do, right? all right. it is a good thing to do. but you have to think what else you could do with the resources. it costs about $40,000 to train a guide dog and train the recipient so that the guide dog can be an effective help to a blind person. it costs somewhere between 20 and $50 to cure a blind person in a developing country if they have trachoma. so you do the sums, and you could provide one guide dog for one blind american or you could cure between 400 and 2,000 people of blindness.
