 * Conflict surrounds us: environmental, historical, religious, political, familial, scientific, economic and personal conflicts. Conflict is an integral part of the human race’s way of being. So, what gets you fired up? What gets your goat going? What do you feel strongly about? And what can you do to make a point about it?**


 * There’s a saying, coined by Eldridge Cleaver, a member of the Black Panther Party, ‘You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem’. It is the human privilege to have a voice, to be able to speak up, to have the power to make a difference.**
