Peace in Palestine is inevitable. The question is how do we make it happen today.

The use and threat of force when world peace is not in danger are no longer valid frames of reference for achieving the ends sought today by sovereign nations.

The only peace that can be made with a dictator is once that must be based on deterrence. For today the dictator may be your friend but tomorrow he will need you as an enemy.

The greatest problem all around the world today whether in America Japan China Russia India or anywhere else in the world is that people are not in peace. People want peace.

Today we have two Vietnams side by side North and South exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam but they are living side by side.

I believe that peace with the Palestinians is most urgent - urgent than ever before. It is necessary. It is crucial. It is possible. A delay may worsen its chances. Israel and the Palestinians are in my judgment ripe today to restart the peace process.

The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace if not always diplomatically.

But in terms of how people live together how we minimize the prospects of conflict and maximize the prospects of peace the place of religion in our society today is essential.

The reason why I'm here today is to explain why I am running and what I will do if you give me the honor and the privilege of representing you in the United States Senate. Now I'm running for the United State Senate for a simple reason and that is...I want to win a Nobel Peace prize.

I know I had no hand in making this war and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

Gratitude makes sense of our past brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.

I think the reaction to a World War II situation would be the same today as it was in 1942. Initially people would question but once patriotism got stirred up the whole thing would gather momentum and we'd all pull together.

I think that in today's world by nature we are all self-centered. And that often leads to selfishness.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

A lot of the music that you listen to now is because of the things that the Meters did the Neville Brothers did and they're there the guys who invented those beats that the guys sample today. Such an enormous opportunity.

I think the pop chart today is entirely market-driven. And it has nothing to do with public taste. And it has nothing to do with moving music forward. It's simply a market chart.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks and I'm an upper.

The problem for me still today is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last it's just product fed to you by the industry.

It seems like a lot of music today is so churned out and simple.

After all in today's music scene every band seems to steal from other bands.

It was all about music about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion and now well technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

Have you listened to the radio lately? Have you heard the canned frozen and processed product being dished up to the world as American popular music today?
