I
believe that I was lucky to have suffered. Some people don’t realize that
in suffering there is great potential, because if you are deprived for any reason..
politically, financially, socially or otherwise.. and if you set your mind in
the right direction, you will find that the only way to survive is for you to
excel, by being better so you can be treated better.

It is a fact that, in the West, we live
in a capitalist society, but that does not
mean that we cannot be guided by the idea
of a social conscience in our work. Yes,
fashion design requires consumers to consume,
but we can do our bit for society by running
our companies in a socially
responsible way, and by creating products
that promote respect for social and environmental
issues. There is also the possibility for
power and influence to be a force for change.

There is a middle class in America for only
one reason: organized labor. If not for
organized labor, where would you find a
job where you had some sense that you had
a shot of leaving behind something better
than you inherited?.

My position is that I am personally opposed
to abortion, but I don't think I have a
right to impose my view on the rest of society.
I've thought a lot about it, and my position
probably doesn't please anyone. I think
the government should stay out completely.
I will not vote to overturn the Court's
decision. I will not vote to curtail a woman's
right to choose abortion. But I will also
not vote to use federal funds to fund abortion.

Public education is the key civil rights
issue of the 21st century. Our nation's
knowledge-based economy demands that we
provide young people from all backgrounds
and circumstances with the education and
skills necessary to become knowledge workers.
If we don't, we run the risk of creating
an even larger gap between the middle class
and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy,
our society and the economic future of America.

The Greens will continue to champion a fairer
society rather than simply the economy and
to champion the parliament rather than simply

Fast
food may appear to be cheap food and, in the literal sense it often is, but that
is because huge social and environmental costs are being excluded from the calculations.
Any analysis of the real cost would have to look at such things as the rise in
food-borne illnesses, the advent of new pathogens, such as E.coli 0157, antibiotic
resistance from the overuse of drugs in animal feed, extensive water pollution
from intensive agricultural systems and many other factors. These costs are not
reflected in the price of fast food.

Terrorism
isn't insanity. It grows out of social conditions that are well known: poverty,
social oppression, dictatorship, and a void of meaning in the lives of ordinary
people.

No
government can love a child, and no policy can substitute for a family's care.
But at the same time, government can either support or undermine families as they
cope with moral, social and economic stresses of caring for children.

If we only have great companies, we will
merely have a prosperous society, not a
great one. Economic growth and power are
the means, not the definition, of a great
nation.

Smart people instinctively understand the
dangers of entrusting our future to self-serving
leaders who use our institutions.. whether
in the corporate or social sectors.. to
advance their own interests.

We must reject the idea.. well-intentioned,
but dead wrong.. that the primary path to
greatness in the social sectors is to become
"more like a business." Most businesses..
like most of anything else in life.. fall
somewhere between mediocre and good.

You know in politics you are dealing in
the realm of choices. You don't always have
clear-cut decision between a thoroughly
principled position and a thoroughly unprincipled
one. You're making snap decisions with paucity
of information, generally trying to do the
best that you can, but you will make errors,
and sometimes it's a decision between a
bad and a worse alternative. It has to be
done, because we need to order our society,
and of politics it can literally be said:
Bad job, but someone's got to do it.

This is not the kind of country where you
would feel comfortable if you were opposed
to democracy, parliamentary law, independent
courts and so I would say to people who
don't feel comfortable with those values
there might be other countries where they'd
feel more comfortable with their own values
or beliefs

With savages, the weak in body or mind are
soon eliminated; and those that survive
commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health.
We civilized men, on the other hand, do
our utmost to check the process of elimination;
we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed,
and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and
our medical men exert their utmost skill
to save the life of every one to the last
moment. There is reason to believe that
vaccination has preserved thousands, who
from a weak constitution would formerly
have succumbed to smallpox. Thus the weak
members of civilized societies propagate
their kind. No one who has attended to the
breeding of domestic animals will doubt
that this must be highly injurious to the
race of man. It is surprising how soon a
want of care, or care wrongly directed,
leads to the degeneration of a domestic
race; but excepting in the case of man himself,
hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow
his worst animals to breed.

It's very difficult to be continuously charitable
in a capitalistic society. You've also got
to make sure that you can pay everyone who

My passionate sense of social justice and
social responsibility has always contrasted
oddly with my pronounced lack of need for
direct contact with other human beings and
human communities.
