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.
powerful passion men
Bush has done more to create passions for what they call terror than any other Administration in this nation's history. I get rather afraid when the most powerful man in the world talks to, and gets answers back from, God.
powerful america leaving
I'm aware that because America is so powerful - with its tentacles reaching out to the world - one doesn't escape it by leaving. This is the most dangerous and disturbing time in my life.
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.
country thinking culture
Something is very, very wrong with American culture. The signs are everywhere. I think the country is in almost terminal descent.
thinking class space
I got a chance to be in a society where the barriers between classes - social and economic - are not insuperable, where money is not everything all the time. Americans have been manipulated into a space by those who profit from the arrangements of that system. People feel a conscious disease - a dis-ease or an unease - but I don't think they know what causes it.
america white boards
For anyone who is not white in America, the affronts are virtually across the board.
