Today, For Good Or Ill, People Are Thinking About Many Social Problems From The Standpoint Of Their Own Kitchen Tables.

One Of The Things I Tell My Students Is That If You Want To Understand What's Been Going On And Also What Needs To Be Done, You've Got To Get Out Of The Blame Game.

Either Of Those Frames Of Reference Gets You Nowhere And They Aren't Even Truthful. You've Got To Understand The Dynamic Itself.

To Be A Skilled Politician, You Have To Be Genuine. To Really Make It Work, You Have To Love People. You Have To Love The Contact, You Have To Love The Energy, You've Gotta Love Inspiring People And Getting Their Adulation In Return. You Can't Separate What's Genuine From What Is Necessary.
