More information you have in your head that you can explain to the next person the more impressive that you will be and the senatest person in the room should win the argument. They have the facts and so they should clearly win. And that is called a policy wonk. And i had many years on television and we would have a policy wonk on. And i could hear people turning off my show, going to a channel because it is boring, boring. The way you communicate, as Ronald Reagan taught, by example, is not through the mind. That is flow of information. I will give you information. Here is facts, here is figures, here it is all laid out for you. Where you move people, where you actually convince people, make them feel that you understand, that you have something to say is when you communicate with the heart. There is a huge difference. So when i do television, i always have some facts and figures. I know my material. And throw out a few because it gives me authority. If i tell you 56 million babies ha
The Research Evidence does show us that there is a Clear Association between access to healthy food, particularly fruits and vegetables, and Better Health outcomes such as lower rates of all of the things that dr. Angel laid out earlier today. So i could not come to Georgetown Law Center and not cite professor lawrence gostin. He is cited here, when we were looking at the universe of policies that can address fruit and vegetable consumption its vast. Many things we have talked about today can be influenced by Public Policy. To organize our thinking we used this framework to think about the different strategies and put them into some context. We also looked at the different settings where its possible to implement policy related to increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables, those settings very broadly are government settings, school settings, which we just mentioned as an important kind of access point. Early childhood settings, retail settings, work sites and generally community
The fact that you identified a small number of who have actually come to the United States and have been investigated and concluded to have participated in a potential terrorist activity is noteworthy. It is quite small.

To what extent can we feel comforted that al qaeda is not looking at this program as a backdoor way to work with somebody to get them in here into our country to plant them is this the way around the traditional way of getting into the United States as one would with a visa or otherwise . I would note in agreement with you that al qaeda and its affiliates have been they have been looking for . In the s
Do you still write your songs down with paper and pencil . Yes, i do. I have always carried a little recording device of some sort. They used to be pretty big, but now they are quite small, and i always carry a pen and paper, and i am ready if something occurs to me. You mentioned merle travis. What other musicians .

There was a guy coming up called tom rush who played here at the cellar door, and he played in boston at the 47. I really pattern myself after, just a guy with a guitar, full position, unapologetic. Falcon musician. Unapologetic folk musician. And i would say wouldtwo and the beatles. What do you think of current pop music . You know, i guess i do not like it a whole lot.

This matter of what you believe is more important what you can accomplish. How you translate that into the language of political philosophy, i am not sure.
