It is a huge myth that our voices don't matter, that our vote doesn't count.

I know lots of people in Mississippi who have lost their jobs trying to register to vote.

They talked about how it was our rights as human beings to register and vote. I never knew we could vote before. Nobody ever told us.

We hadn't heard anything about registering to vote because when you see this flat land in here, when the people would get out of the fields, if they had a radio, they'd be too tired to play it. So we didn't know what was going on in the rest of the state, even, much less in other places.

A majority of Americans want redemption for racism - for our terrible, destructive racist past - and so see a vote for Obama as redemptive.

Beirut. What does that say to you? CAMPBELL: It says to me that they don't know how to apply their religious ideas to contemporary life, and to human beings rather than just to their own community. It's a terrible example of the failure of religion to meet the modern world.

Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.
