Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. and we are going to wrong some rights. the first shall be last; the last shall be first; the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. but before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.

When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the un. you can take it before the general assembly. you can take uncle sam before a world court. but the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. civil rights keeps you in his pocket.

I think, again, on issues of energy, how are we going to fully utilize our energy resources in this country? what is the role of the federal government in higher education? what kind of justices would you appoint to the supreme court, not just because we have a vacancy now, but at least one or two potentially in the next four to eight years?

You're really not that good a mechanic, edward. maybe you should have rosalie take a look at it tonight, just so you look good if mike decides to let you help, you know. not that it wouldn't be fun to watch his face if rosalie showed up to help. but since rosalie is supposed to be across the country attending college, i guess that's not the best idea. too bad.
