“What was it he [Dr. Charles Wickramsinghe of Sri Lanka] had heard in the street so many times today? Fair trade, not free trade. Well, the big boys -- the developed countries -- couldn't have either, if none of the former colonies agreed to participate. No factories for their clothes, no mines for their minerals, no markets for their subsidized rice and corn. Nobody to trade with, if that's what you wanted to call it. Charles was going to make sure they didn't go another round. He straightened his suit and stepped from the back door of the Sheraton. He looked down the street to where those city buses were parked. But first he was going to get some people out of jail.”

“You might escape from an underdeveloped country and go to a developed one, only to find out that the developed country is actually underdeveloped too! The solution? Whether you live in an underdeveloped country or a supposedly developed one, what you need to do is isolate yourself, create safe, peaceful spaces for yourself, and experience your freedom on your own islands, far from the crowds!”
