"Clinton will win, but there will be a stink on it, at least for me. I know. I'm insignificant. You don't need to tell me."
Never think of yourself as insignifigant.
One person can change so many things...you don't think these people are super human do you?
People have LONG memories, no matter what the media wants you to believe. Not too long after September 11, someone else was talking about Unity the same way Obama is. You can take this for what it's worth, because I support Edwards. I just can't STAND for someone to spin 'Any way the wind blows'
Guess who said the following,
(QUOTE)
"Hey, we like our differences. We like who we are. We like the color of our skin, the way we pursue our faith. We like what's about us that's different. We like our little boxes. We all have to have them to navigate reality." You laughed when I said, CAL and Stanford, you gave me a good reception because I was a Stanford parent, right? It gives you a way to organize things.
But the older you get, somebody's a scientist, another person's an economist. Somebody's a Democratic, somebody else is a Republican. Somebody's Asian, somebody else is something else. But in the end, most people figure out that these boxes with which we navigate reality, as important as they are, are not as important as our common humanity. And if we don't figure it out, then a whole lot of experience is denied us and a whole lot of wisdom never comes into our spirits. That's really what's going on here, folks. The world has never truly had to develop an ethic if interdependence rooted in our common humanity and if we do it, the 21st Century will be the most interesting, exciting, peaceful era in history. If we don't, we'll spend a lot of time playing catch up and trying to punish people and get them to atone for travesties like September the 11th.
So I will say again, I support the current effort against terrorism. We need more of it. We need to increase our effectiveness and then we'll get better at it. And no terrorist campaign in history, by the way, has ever succeeded and this one won't either, unless we let it change us. But if you want the world that I think you want, you have to both be very vigilant and disciplined and tough in people that have already set themselves beyond to pale of the world you're trying to build. And then you have to go about trying to build a world where you spread the benefits and strengthen burdens, where you help people who aren't very good at solving their own problems yet, get better at it and understand that they have to accommodate human rights and openness.
And you have to basically tell people, "Look, we respect you're differences. We'll celebrate them, but only if you acknowledge that our common humanity is more important." Not very complicated, but that's what I think will determine the whole shape of this new era. (END QUOTE)
Speech: Remarks as Delivered at University of California, Berkeley
January 29, 2002
Berkeley, California
William Jefferson Clinton
This speech btw, is from his OWN web site for the Clinton Foundation.
Yet, the Clintons (You can't speak of one without the other...the "Two for one" thing they have going on) want to attack anyone who doesn't agree with them (Democratic) and fend off the "Vast right wing conspiracy"?
Crow, table for two.
