It's something a guy named Cockburne used to ask his interns. A way of gauging if they had fire inside them, if they thought of the world as something awful and broken that could and should be mended.

Interns at what exactly? Who the fuck is Cockburne?

Alex Cockburn was a socialist journalist who worked for The Nation. He was pretty solid on his analysis of US foreign policy, but kinda sucked on Freedom of Speech.
