country thinking culture
Something is very, very wrong with American culture. The signs are everywhere. I think the country is in almost terminal descent.
country self america
You try to steer a course in American society that's not self-destructive. But America is a country that inflicts injury. It does not like to see anything that comes in response, and accuses one of anger as if it were an unnatural response.
country powerful cutting
I don't know of any situation where you're going to have an officeholder in a country of eight million people who's cut off at the knees by the most powerful force in this world and who can still make it fly.
country prison-population two
The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world: two million people. The country with one-twentieth of the world's population has one-fourth of those in prison.
country believe america
We've been taught in America that big is best. That's why people have to believe that they must live in the greatest country in the world, which is absolutely idiotic.
country thug people
Condelleza Rice and Colin Powell are both dangerous people. What they did in Haiti [2004 U.S.-backed coup that ousted democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide] is a good measure of it. They destroyed a democracy. They squelched loans that had been approved by the Inter-American Development Bank. They did everything behind the scenes, including arming the thugs that came to overrun the country. They're frauds.
finally miami south styles
Miami is finally going to have its South Beach, with all the different styles in one place.
bad bill disaster
This is a bad omen, a bad bill and a disaster for Africa.
democracy outcomes next
Democracy requires that if you who don't like the outcome of elections you have to tolerate it and then pursue your interest the next time around.
white black regimes
I've opposed black regimes and white regimes, leftist regimes and rightist regimes. I'm close to Aristide because I have respect for him, but all that is beside the point.
offending people trouble
I've never had any trouble opposing people I've been close to. I've never worried about offending or bothering people I feel strongly about.
real careers people
I've always thought I had pretty good instincts for people. There is a short list of people I've worked with over my career with whom I've not been able to distinguish easily between the public persona and the real private person.
religious management conservative
Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.
thinking want christ
I think the evangelicals want to provoke an immense global disaster to precipitate the second coming of Christ.
