“It's hard to argue against cynics - they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side”

“You can't ignore politics, no matter how much you'd like to.”

“It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.”

Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts.”
