I can't think of a better model for Haiti rebuilding than Rwanda.

I've been asked a lot for my view on American health care. Well, 'it would be a good idea,' to quote Gandhi.

If I am hungry, that is a material problem; if someone else is hungry, that is a spiritual problem.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

For me, an area of moral clarity is: you're in front of someone who's suffering and you have the tools at your disposal to alleviate that suffering or even eradicate it, and you act.

The human rights community has focused very narrowly on political and civil rights for many decades, and with reason, but now we have to ask how can we broaden the view.

I'm one of six kids, and the eight of us lived for over a decade in either a bus or a boat.
