I don't think we replaced the soviet union with al qaida. i think we replaced, we should have, soviet union with the merger of globalization and the it revolution. i think it's that. that is the real challenge that we face today. unlike the soviet union, it has no face, it has no missiles, but it is something that challenges every job, every city and every community.

The white man knows what a revolution is. he knows that the black revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, is sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that's a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia, revolution is in africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is?

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

We knew that al-qaida was a threat to our country. we knew that the clinton administration understood this and was working against al-qaida we did not ignore al-qaida. we spent a lot of our time thinking about terrorism, what should we do about it.

A revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no compromise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, “i’m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me.” no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was pointing out beautifully, singing “we shall overcome”? just tell me. you don’t do that in a revolution. you don’t do any singing; you’re too busy swinging.

I mean, you hear the word 'globalization' over and over and over again. globalization, globalization, globalization. rarely has a word gone so directly from obscurity to meaninglessness without any intervening period of coherence.

Education is 'the guardian genius of our democracy.' nothing really means more to our future, not our military defenses, not our missiles or our bombers, not our production economy, not even our democratic system of government. for all of these are worthless if we lack the brain power to support and sustain them.

I know what an act to make things simpler means. it means that the people who drew it up don't understand it themselves and that every one of its clauses needs a law-suit to disentangle it.
