Democracy is not a spectator sport, it's a participatory event. If we don't participate in it, it ceases to be a democracy.
From Michael Moore

My dad was an autoworker, my mom was a clerk. Until I was thirty-five, I never made more than fifteen thousand dollars a year.
I don't believe that the Bush Administration had something to do with September 11th. I do believe that there were a lot of warning signals, but I don't think they were ignored on purpose - Bush just wanted to go to the ranch for a month.

I take much of the attacks and the criticism toward me as being very class-based, but as Americans we don't like to acknowledge that reality.
I do believe that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute you. I believe that there is power and strength in that.
I believe that when you provide information to people, they become less fearful and they will engage more in their democracy if they are empowered with information.
I assume everything I'm saying in an email or saying on the telephone is being looked at.
