Charity depends on the vicissitudes of whim and personal wealth; justice depends on commitment instead of circumstance. Faith-based charity provides crumbs from the table; faith-based justice offers a place at the table Picture Quote #1

Capitalism is out of control, thanks in no small part to Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision which said that a corporation is a person, even though it doesn’t eat, drink, make love, sing, raise children or take care of aging parents. You can’t have a people’s democracy as long as corporations are considered people Picture Quote #1

If you think there is freedom of the press in the United States, I tell you there is no freedom of the press... They come out with the cheap shot. The press should be ashamed of itself. They should come to both sides of the issue and hear both sides and let the American people make up their minds Picture Quote #1

In uniform patriotism can salute one flag only, embrace but the first circle of life-one’s own land and tribe. In war that is necessary, in peace it is not enough Picture Quote #1

The printed page conveys information and commitment, and requires active involvement. Television conveys emotion and experience, and it’s very limited in what it can do logically. It’s an existential experience - there and then gone Picture Quote #1

When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest Picture Quote #1

This is the first time in my 32 years in public broadcasting that PBS has ordered up programs for ideological instead of journalistic reasons Picture Quote #1

I’m angry at what’s happening to America and angry with myself that I can’t do more. I would be miserable if I couldn’t bear witness Picture Quote #1

Fox News and Rush Limbaugh have raised ignorance to ideology and stupefied an entire political party. No more roguish and rowdy band of predators ever did more to demean and despoil the democracy on whose carcass they feed Picture Quote #1

What’s right and good doesn’t come naturally. You have to stand up and fight for it - as if the cause depends on you, because it does Picture Quote #1

Lyndon Johnson was thirteen of the most interesting and difficult men I ever met. He could be as couth as he was uncouth, as magnanimous as malicious, at times proud and sensitive, at times paranoid and darkly uneasy with himself. Freud would have had a field day with him Picture Quote #1

I have seen hate born of fear, hate speaking in the name of God and truth, hate holding up a distorting mirror to fellow human beings Picture Quote #1

The rich today are richer, there are more of them, they have round-the-clock propaganda factories in Rupert Murdoch’s empire and rightwing talk radio, and corporate media have their back Picture Quote #1
