Quote of the Day:
“Sólo le pido a Dios (I only ask God)
que la guerra no me sea indiferente (not to make me indifferent to war)
es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte (it’s a giant monster which treads upon)
toda la pobre inocencia de la gente (all the poor innocence of the people)”
From the song “Sólo le pido a Dios”, by Leon Gieco (hear it here).
