Race Maintaining Arms

More From Arthur Henderson

Bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us...no longer is the quest for disarmament a sign of weakness, (nor) the destruction of arms a dream - it is a practical matter of life or death. the risks inherent in disarmament pale in comparison to the risks inherent in an unlimited arms race.
Dream War Race
We could still have continued the arms race, but the arms race was pointless, and it was another reason we decided to start perestroika. it was senseless to continue to accumulate weapons. we had enough weapons to destroy life on earth 1,000 times, and therefore it was very clear to us that the arms race could spiral out of control. a conflict could have started, as both the americans and the soviets realized, not out of a wrong political decision but because of a failure in the command-and-control systems.
Race Command And Control Decision

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.
Country Baby Growing Up
No matter how old i get, the race remains one of life's most rewarding experiences. my times become slower and slower, but the experience of the race is unchanged: each race a drama, each race a challenge, each race stretching me in one way or another, and each race telling me more about myself and others.

I spoke to a blogger. it was election time when we were doing the movie and hillary clinton was still in the running. this blogger was doing a story on democratic women who were anti-hillary. he was on the computer speaking to these women and it made me realize that you can reach a much broader audience online but on the other hand russell's [crowe] character argues that you still need to get on the streets and see people face to face, and check your facts.

"no, and it has to be said, i'm not in kansas anymore." she lifted her hands, then let them fall. "it's not that i've forgotten how to be a couple, but that my experience in being part of one is different from yours. maybe from most people's. and i've been on my own a long time."
