My Philosophy Has Always Been

We Should Have Learnt By Now That Laws And Court Decisions Can Only Point The Way. They Can Establish Criteria Of Right And Wrong. And They Can Provide A Basis For Rooting Out The Evils Of Bigotry And Racism. But They Cannot Wipe Away Centuries Of Oppression And Injustice - However Much We Might Desire It.

Equality Means Equality For All - No Exceptions, No 'yes, Buts', No Asterisked Footnotes Imposing Limits.

We Live By Hope. We Do Not Ever Get All We Want When We Want It. But We Have To Believe That Someday, Somehow, Some Way, It Will Be Better And That We Can Make It So.

Freedom Is The Most Contagious Virus Known To Man.

The Good Old Days Were Never That Good, Believe Me. The Good New Days Are Today, And Better Days Are Coming Tomorrow. Our Greatest Songs Are Still Unsung.
