““When Iraq was not yet Iraq, it was the birthplace of the first written words. The words look like bird tracks. Masterful hands drew them in clay with sharpened canes. Fire annihilates and rescues, kills and gives life, as do the gods, as do we. Fire hardened the clay and preserved the words. Thanks to fire, the clay tablets still tell what they told thousands of years ago in that land of two rivers. In our days, George W. Bush, perhaps believing that writing was invented in Texas, launched with joyful impunity a war to exterminate Iraq. There were thousands upon thousands of victims, and not all of them were flesh and blood. A great deal of memory was murdered too. Living history in the form of numerous clay tablets were stolen or destroyed by bombs. One of the tablets said: We are dust and nothing All that we do is no more than wind.””

— Eduardo Galeano quoted in an essay by Tom Engelhardt at TomDispatch introducing an excerpt from Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone. Eduardo Galeano, The Previous Sole Superpower (via protoslacker)

If you have a performance complaint regarding subordinates, that has to go through the proper channels. Back-channel grumbling is unacceptable, gentlemen.

No idea who that is, though my guess would maybe be Billy Lush?
