Because jurors have an extraordinary amount of power over the situation and of the people and the story in front of them, they tend to pay pretty intense attention to what's happening.

New York City is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to climate change, so I see Keystone as the central threat to New York.

I think a lot of the reason people are attracted to the Keystone pipeline is because at least we're doing something. There's a fear that society will collapse if it's not acting. To contrast those actions with other actions is important in making it feel plausible. Maybe we must have the size of the dream meet the size of the threat.

This is what's so hard about our current politics: things poll well, but people don't believe that politicians are telling the truth.

Having more candidates come with a creative and artistic sensibility would actually bring more people out to vote.

Oftentimes people get it wrong when they say we need to educate voters first and then give them power. I tend to favor giving them power first.
