What Joe Hamilton lacked more than anything else in the world was some one to kick him.

There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.
Hillary Clinton

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
