Every time I get a bit worried about having made some second rate choices in life I go back and read about the Suffragettes or William Wilberforce, people who were "wrong" in their own time and think, ah well.

I've always thought, and it gets tested at times, that I have a great faith in the fundamental goodness of human beings.

I have seen such an immense change from the total repression and criminality of homosexuality in my lifetime. It does make me much more buoyant and optimistic about the future. If that change can occur in that time there's hope for many other changes.

I'm worried about the traditional media, but I think the new media is a plus for democracy.

We people of the Earth exist because our potential was there in the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago, as the universe exploded into being.

I'm a very great non-violent character. I would never resort to violence to change anything.

As a Green, my goal is to put a smile on the face of the coming generations.
