People’s lives have to change as a result of this legislation  (Major Owens Quotes) You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power  (Major Owens Quotes) The whole community of people with disabilities was alive, politically alive. I give Justin Dart credit for that. He traveled to every state in the country. He really made people with disabilities understand that they had some political power.  (Major Owens Quotes) The kind of society which we still have is maybe, in some cases, getting worse. Competition is becoming a virtue. Intense competition drives people to go more and more into self-interest. Even to see other folks as competition.  (Major Owens Quotes) Competition is such a virtue, and everybody’s so busy competing, they have no time for compassion.  (Major Owens Quotes) The first place to start is on enforcement. We who got the ADA passed did the hard part, the heavy lifting.  (Major Owens Quotes) It is very difficult to get legislation passed. But then the danger always is that you have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.  (Major Owens Quotes) High gas prices are eating away at consumers disposal income and could lead to a further economic downturn, especially for those whose livelihood depend on gasoline and diesel fuel.  (Major Owens Quotes) It’s a sad day when the leaders of the free world engage in such deception and trickery. I voted against this unnecessary war and will continue to argue that the best way to support our troops is to bring them home.  (Major Owens Quotes) Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways.  (Major Owens Quotes) Even if gas prices fall, consumers will continue to be gouged at the pump the only thing that we can be sure rises faster that the price of gasoline is the skyrocketing profits of oil companies.  (Major Owens Quotes) I do not think we are ever going to be able to, for a long time, get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools, especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology.  (Major Owens Quotes) Excitement in education and student productivity, the ability to get a result that you want from students, go together and cannot be separated.  (Major Owens Quotes) Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools  (Major Owens Quotes) The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.  (Major Owens Quotes) Technology tools such as laptops are the kind of help that we need. A program that provides laptops for all youngsters would close a gap that most of us are not aware of, or will not admit to, which is a tremendous gap in the poor communities.  (Major Owens Quotes) It was the best route to get folks to understand segregation fast. Civil rights and women’s rights had a clear history. Making the transition to rights for people with disabilities became easier because we had the history of the other two.  (Major Owens Quotes) We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.  (Major Owens Quotes) Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included.  (Major Owens Quotes) I think some combined pressure could go a long way, could establish the fact that this legislation did pass and we mean business by it. We mean to have it enforced, we mean to have it become effective.  (Major Owens Quotes) I will continue my activities related to education in one way or another. I certainly would have at the top my agenda, with respect to education, the need to do much better with modern educational technology.  (Major Owens Quotes) Our government just won’t enforce civil rights laws. The laws will be ignored.  (Major Owens Quotes) We hope that the elected officials will respond positively to a ground swell of letters, phone calls, e-mails and visits from parents. The law clearly states that the responsibility for giving a sound basic education to our children lies with New York State.  (Major Owens Quotes) We need to get ready for a world where terrorism will not ever fully go away  (Major Owens Quotes) The problem was just a mean attitude that festers and has to be challenged  (Major Owens Quotes) I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line  (Major Owens Quotes) We have to start with a ban on the manufacturing and import of handguns. From there we register the guns which are currently owned, and follow that with additional bans and acquisitions of handguns and rifles with no sporting purpose  (Major Owens Quotes)
