“I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just.” -Thomas Jefferson
He was talking about slavery, but it could just as much be about murder in Central America and the Middle East, and modern-day slavery that supports our air-conditioned lifestyle.

Here’s the talk, I think you should see this one first. This was their group, giving a presentation at an extremely serious business forum, to people who thought that the presentation was being given by a rep from the World Trade Organization: https://theyesmen.org/project/finland/talk
