More From Tom Harkin

Hear the sledges with the bells, silver bells! what a world of merriment their melody foretells! how they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, in the icy air of night, while the stars that oversprinkle all the heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight: keeping time, time, time, in a sort of runic rhyme to the tintinnabulation that so musically wells from the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells-- from the jingling and the tingling of the bells.
Stars Night Air
Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

The aids disease is caused by a virus, but the aids epidemic is not. the aids epidemic is fueled by stigma, by hate, by misinformation, by ignorance, by indifference. science has accomplished miracles over the past 20 years, and science can now end this disease - but it cannot end the epidemic. we need more than medicine. we can do something about these things. we need to speak out about the changes we need to make in our society.
Hate Ignorance Past
We are spending millions, if not billions of dollars every year on programs to fight the childhood obesity epidemic while giving almost $2 billion of taxpayer money to the junk food and fast food industries to make the epidemic worse.

Government began in tyranny and force, began in the feudalism of the soldier and bigotry of the priest; and the ideas of justice and humanity have been fighting their way, like a thunderstorm, against the organized selfishness of human nature.

There is not a revolution that succeeded in a few months. it takes years, even decades, to fulfill its goals. i am very hopeful because i trust the revolution and feel nobody can really conquer a nation that has decided to be united and to fight, and we decided to fight. the revolution is there, inside the egyptians by the millions.
