Laws can be enacted, constitutions can be revised.

Be careful of complacency. The truth is, racism still exists, soldiers are currently fighting a war that is against popular support, women are still treated as second class citizens, and the environment is still greatly endangered.

It is good to celebrate our victories, but we can never let the feeling of success distract us from our goals.

Is it really necessary that the bank sets a time line? No. Look at what happens when Bank of America with all due diligence to its shareholders, associates, and customers phases out relationships with poorly managed companies like Republic Doors and Windows.”

No amount of rationalization or blaming can preempt the moment of choice each of us brings to our situation here on this planet. The lesson of the 60′s is that people who cared enough to do right could change history. We didn’t end racism but we ended legal segregation. We ended the idea that you could send half-a-million soldiers around the world to fight a war that people do not support. We ended the idea that women are second-class citizens. We made the environment an issue that couldn’t be avoided. The big battles that we won cannot be reversed. We were young, self-righteous, reckless, hypocritical, brave, silly, headstrong, and scared half to death.
And we were right.”
