Im sick and tired of old men sitting around in air conditioned rooms here in Washington, dreaming up wars for young men to die in.

It is not patriotic to commit young Americans to war unless our national security clearly requires it.

I firmly believed throughout 1971 that the major hurdle to winning the presidency was winning the Democratic nomination. I believed that any reasonable Democrat would defeat President Nixon. I now think that no one could have defeated him in 1972.

The earth has enough knowledge and resources to eradicate this ancient scourge. Hunger has plagued the world for thousands of years. But ending it is a greater moral imperative now than ever before, because for the first time humanity has the instruments at hand to defeat this cruel enemy at a very reasonable cost. We have the ability to provide food for all within the next three decades.

Come home to the affirmation that we have a dream. Come home to the conviction that we can move our country forward. Come home to the belief that we can seek a newer world. And let us be joyful in the homecoming.

Reaganism is not only at odds with the Judeo-Christian heritage, it will not work.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
