We all want a healthy planet, but we don't need to live in a Green nanny state to have one.

I primissimi articoli della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani e della Convenzione Europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali sono chiarissimi: nessuno può essere ridotto in schiavitù, nessuno può essere sottoposto a tortura, a trattamenti inumani e degradanti. Nessuno. Abbiamo creato un sistema di garanzia dei diritti umani per evitare che l'orrore si ripetesse e l'abbiamo fatto dopo averlo visto con i nostri occhi di occidentali, l'orrore. Abbiamo però evitato di dire che i diritti, come gli occhi, erano occidentali.

Il 27 luglio 1996 una guardia di sicurezza di nome Richard Jewell individuò uno zaino sospetto nel Centennial Olympic Park di Atlanta, teatro in quei giorni dei Giochi olimpici. All'interno c'era una bomba. La deflagrazione provocò due morti e un centinaio di feriti, ma senza l'intervento di Jewell il bilancio sarebbe stato certamente più grave.
