Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change.

Both trials are marred with injustice, both are flawed.

The measure of your quality as a public person, as a citizen, is the gap between what you do and what you say.

The greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy.

Our history shows that the death penalty has been unjustly imposed, innocents have been killed by the state, effective rehabilitation has been impaired, judicial administration has suffered. It is the poor, the sick, the ignorant, the powerless, and the hated who are executed.

There are few better measures of the concern a society has for its individual members and its own well being than the way it handles criminals.

Our emotions may cry for vengeance in the wake of a horrible crime, but we know that killing the criminal will not undo the crime, will not prevent similar crimes by others, does not benefit the victim, destroys human life and brutalizes society. If we are to still violence, we must cherish life. Executions cheapen life.
