I remember debating the finer points of flaky pastry with my chicken-pot-pie-obsessed American dad.

Thank God he's famous.
The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing — that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world — is what I wish for all.
