I think that one of the problems that exists in the United States and in many places in the world is that people don't believe that they can make a difference. So a lot of times we're defeated before we even start. We've become consumers of a world vision, of Kentucky Fried Chicken, of McDonalds.

We need to be weapons of mass construction, weapons of mass love. It's not enough just to change the system. We need to change ourselves.
