Noticeably, seriously higher that was a great subject for john and his character on good times. Attention to life in america for 1972, 3, 4 american family. Host next call for norman lear is bob in oklahoma. Caller i enjoyed your work. In my 50s. I grew up watching all in the family, my parents were quakers and they were active in the civil rights movement. It was good entertainment. I have been politically active all my life. I am wondering, a candid question, do you think that some of the older folks, when i say old driving 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, do you think we could be more instrumental in bringing at end to cannabis prohibition during our lifetime so we can help rejuvenate the economy and environment all over the world .

America. Americas misunderstands black rage as always being connected to revenge. It can be connected to black love. This is what love looks like in public, tenderness is what feels like in private. He was a tender man too just like malcolm. He was a sweet man. But he had a deep commitment to justice. When he died 72 of americans disapproved of him. 55 of black people disapprove of martin when he died. Everybody loves him now that the worms got him. The fbi said he was the most dangerous man in america. How come . So much love. So much fire. Why was that he was unpopular at the end . A critique of empire, the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, he was telling the truth, vietnam, trying to organize all poor people beyond civil rights, adding humanrights, and talked about in 64 going to the united nations, bringing america to try for the violation of human rights of black people.

All platonic dialogues are dialogues between a superior man and men inferior to him. Plato apparently felt one could not write a dialogue between two men of the highest order. We must then do something which the greatest minds were unable to do. Since the greates
I have not found out, but in voluntary immigrants, that is a different thing. Hitting the ground, jamaica, the hitting the ground moving. Haiti, they hit the ground moving, what great people they are. Different circumstances. Dont put it in the same category. Some put it in the same category. Thousands of bones in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean that will remind us of that immigration track of those precious dignified africans who came here and encountered a slave auction, and that is also what we are dealing with for ferguson, already criminalized before we got here and still look at too many of our precious young black people as if they were criminals before they had done anything. True for brown, but especially for black. I appreciate that question. I applaud him this time. I time. I applaud him. Zero, yes. Absolutely. We have time for one more my name is louis armstrong.
