When you have half of Caironese in slums, when you don't have clean water, when you don't have a sewer system, when you don't have electricity, and on top of that you live under one of the most repressive regimes right now...

If Feingold does it, if he wins this race in this year, it will not be as just another Democratic senator. It will not be as a maverick, nor even as an idealist. It will be as a signal that maybe, just maybe, people power can still beat the money power.

It's almost hard to imagine anything more undemocratic than the view that political officials should not debate American wars in public, but only express concerns 'privately with the administration.'

To, že sa vám nepáči obraz v zrkadle, ktoré sa vám niekto rozhodol nastaviť, nie je problém ani zrkadla a ani toho, kto vám ho nastavil. Tvár v ňom je totiž vaša.
