I do not share the general view that market forces are the basis of personal liberty.

The one thing that is absolutely essential is that there shouldn't be any governmental control [of the media] directly or indirectly.

Change always follows the same pattern. If you come up with something new they try and put you off.If that doesn't work they call you stark raving bonkers.If that doesn't work they lock you up like the suffragettes.Then, after a pause, the change happensand you can't find anyone that doesn't claim to have been fighting for it with you.

I'm a democrat - I don't support Bush, I don't support Blair, I don't support Bin Laden.

Through talk, we tamed kings, restrained tyrants, averted revolution

Mandela didn't end Apartheid in South Africa, the poor guy was in jail for 27 years, it was the African people that ended it but he was a symbol of their struggle. Or Gandhi in India, Gandhi was a great believer in non-violence and he was in and out of jail, but India became free. I think it's better to look at what people can do collectively and that's why it's so important to encourage them.

I think democracy is the most revolutionary thing in the world, because if you have power you use it to meet the needs of you and your community.
