Strike against war

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction! --Helen Keller, Carnegie Hall, 1916

Carole McNeil was just interviewing Halle Berry on the CBC... McNeil's first questions were a bit condescending and simplistic, so Berry sent her back some of her banter:

McNeil: "Happy belated 40th birthday."
Berry: "Thank you."
McNeil: "How does it feel to be 40?"
Berry: "It feels fine. How old are you?"
McNeil: "43."
Berry: "How did it feel to turn 40?"

The rest of the piece was about racism in Hollywood and its continued presence, even for Berry.
