• "I'm walking with my buddy to a meeting with a community organization in Oakland when a terrified five-year old runs up, grabs my elbow, and tugs until I go with him to his house. At the door a woman stops screaming at the telephone to pull us in and show us her son in the bathtub. He is barely breathing with a syringe hanging out of his arm. I can't understand a word the woman is saying, it is all in a language I don't understand. I know what I would do in this situation."

• "At Black Mesa, a medic with the solidarity caravan slips with the chainsaw she is using to cut up firewood, and it chews up her leg down to exposed bone. The tissue is mashed up, she's hyperventilating and bleeding all over the place, and sits down dizzy and dazed and pale as a sheet. I know what I would do in this situation."

• "It's 102 F in Phoenix and the Papago Freeway is blocked with a lock-down and a massive police presence, when two people fall 30 feet from the 3rd Street Bridge to the road surface during a banner hang. The one closer to my buddy and me landed on his feet. His lower legs are bloody and deformed. He's sitting and trying to get up. The one further from my buddy and me is lying unmoving on her side oozing blood from under her hair. I know what I would do in this situation."
