"The thing that is different I think from the years ago, when I was covering the shutdown at the Clinton White House. Then, it was a different political landscape.

A lot of the bridges that used to be used to reach a deal when you needed to reach a compromise have been blown up in the past years."

The football coach has a captive audience and can teach these lessons because the communication lines between himself and his players are more wide open than between kids and parents. We better teach these lessons or else the country's future population will be made up of a majority of crooks, drug addicts, or people on relief.”
“Nobody black or white who really believes in democracy can stand aside now; everybody's got to stand up and be counted.”
