Education is a right, it's a journey, it's a process, and it's something we have to stand for, as hard as it is.

One of the things that happened that I think is noteworthy, my parents were pretty tolerant people given their position in society. They were pretty interesting about being interesting able to look at their children and think oh my children know things and they gave us a lot of sense of our own agency, and that may be a kind of a ruling class trait.

I knew Barack Obama, absolutely. And I knew him probably as well as thousands of other Chicagoans.

Imperialism or globalization - I don't have to care what it's called to hate it.

We just watched this budget debacle right? Seventy-three percent of Americans want to tax the rich. Why can't the politicians respond to that? Because they are the rich. And they are beholden to the rich. It's a captured system.

I don't regret setting bombs.

In terms of my own behavior and activity, the funny thing about regrets and saying "I'm sorry," is that there's so much I would do differently and want to do differently moving forward.
