[Rich nerd playing golf:] My daddy told me I could serve my country better by going to law school!

Maria Cotto spoke out against this injustice. Her brother was killed in the Persian Gulf War:

"I saw them on television saying they were spending billions on this. I saw them on Wall Street and they were cheering. It was sick, they were cheering like it was a game ..."

"Don't they know it means people will die? Not them. Not their families. Not their kids. People like my brother." [119]

Ismael Cotto, 27 years old, Bronx, New York. Killed in Saudi Arabia, Jan. 1991.
