I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.

The '60s are presented to kids today as a commodity.

I was shocked at the anger toward me.

There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.

The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

I think that there is a lot going on with young people today.

I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don't feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily--obviously not completely--moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.
