• About fighting terrorism “Going to war and taking lives is not the process that works. What you've done is effectively cut off any discourse or dialogue. If we're only going to govern by anger, then we've lost the game."
• "Leadership has to be focused on some very radical ideas that only we as 21st Century people can talk about: making sure people have a livelihood, making sure people receive a living wage, making sure the environment, the Mother Earth, is embraced and cherished and not destroyed. Making sure people are healthy in what they eat, making sure we hold people and corporations accountable for the damage they do not only to our environment but to our institutions."
• "When I say the death penalty is inhumane. I mean [it's inhumane] whether that person is in a bird cage [jail] or it's bin Laden."
• "One of the main purveyors of violence in this world has been this country, whether it's been against Nicaragua, Vietnam or wherever."
• "A nation that continues, year after year, to spend more money on defense than social programs is nearing spiritual death."
