Both sides will exchange reversible concessions for reversible concessions and you reversible concessions for you irreversible concessions for irreversible concessions. Thank you. That is a great place to stop. Underlying all of this is the bitter history of the u. S. And iran. No one better to talk about that then john, who has experienced it in many different ways. Is this really going to make a difference between the u. S. And iran . As our iranian friends like to say, there are only two possibilities. It either will or it wont. So there we are. It is quite simple. They have been speaking and writing very sensibly about iran for many years. This is a very passionate subject in this town. I tell my students at the Naval Academy one could spend his life going to iran in events in washington, whether it is the wilson center, the foundation for the defense of democracy. View. Ideological point of you would never run out of subjects to talk about. It is an issue that a small number of pe
I know it is not the only answer, but behavior modification is one piece when people start to be rewarded by observation. And i can speak from being a midwesterner myself and seeing a lot of people in this area of the country and this age group specifically respond very well to that. I do not disagree with you at all. My mother had a famous saying a minute on your lips, forever on your hips. I got that a long time ago. Still, that is the way it goes. The bottom line is you can only change your behavior if the environment allows for it. When 600,000 food items have 80 adulteration by added sugar, it is awfully hard to change your behavior in a toxic environment. The toxic environment has to improve in order for you to be able to manifest those changes in behavior. That is what i would say. And to sustain them over time. That is all, thank you. That is all the time we have. I would like to remind you rob will stick around a little bit to sign his book. Finally, i would like to thank him.
That it is not random. I remember in my earlier time thinking, well, if you have one woman already in one of those top three positions, then no one is going to want to elect the second one because they will think theyre overdoing it, you know . People in the state have gotten used to electing a woman. It could be that there is a role modeling that is going on and more women are really thinking about becoming political. The women themselves, and some of the women in those positions have said, no, actually, i showed the next woman where the pockets of energy or the pockets of money were. It is like bringing the next one along. It is so exciting, because we have to find ways to really expand these numbers. We cannot just keep moving along. It takes 200 years at the rate we are going. I am not kidding. Literally. You have to find ways to say, we already have one woman in this state come hell or high water. We are going to run a woman for governor and a woman for senator in that very state.
Legislative body. She spoke about slavery and womens rights before the Massachusetts State Legislature in 1838. An event honoring her and looking at women in politics. From boston, this is just over two hours. Welcome, everyone. I will be your evening moderator. We are here tonight to explore how women become political. We will look at the past and the present and consider the future, too. There will be some remarks and a panel. Regretfully, senator Elizabeth Warren is not able to join us because she needs to be in washington. Someone has to work. She is there to work in the senate. [applause] however, she has made a short video for us that we will share in place of the remarks she would have given. Now, during the evening we invite you to tweet and send your questions at womenpoli2013. Also a reminder. Silence your cell phones right now. Everybody moving to silence the cell phones . Good. And for those who could not attend tonight, the good news is that the event is being taped by the
A colossal wreck a road trip through political scandal, corruption and American Culture and you will hear about alexanders fondness for road trips, his enduring quest not really to get through political scandal and corruption but to reveal it and his real love affair with American Culture which comes through strongly in the pages of this book. A little background just so you know, the book is coming at out now. You just heard he died a year ago. He was working on this book pretty much until the day that he died and it was pieced together partly thanks to the process that he and jeffrey developed at counterpunch for every year the the end of year y would publish to greatest hits column of their pieces of the preceding 12 months and this enabled alexander to keep a good track on his favorite parts of his own as they say in england. And the book was then put together with extraordinary help from daisy, from jeffrey and from andrew in between feeding his animals which were brought into the
