This country is in the process of being humbled to the ground. The saddest thing of all is it didn't have to be that way. But that's neither here nor there. We must do our best, however, and any change we can make in our government has to be better.

The poor will tend to turn upon the rich, the white upon the black, and the right-wing evangelicals upon everyone else. It's going to get very messy.

All we can do it place ourselves in the best, most safe posture that we can. We must take care of our own. I hate this. I hate that we don't learn. But hasn't that been the fate of man from the beginning? That we only learn from our mistakes? What a mistake this is!
