“I treat Twitter like a news feed. I follow you guys, I follow every news organization - left, right, center, and everything in between - and it's like a ticker on my phone. For me it's that you have to wade through the people who wish you were dead - and I have to respect their opinions - but it helps me stay on top of the news.” PeopleHelpingGuyLeftWishOpinionNewsOrganizationTreatsPhonesHelp MeWish YouWade Author:Willie Geist
“When you say that [Martin Luther] King was a prophet, you don't say that he predicted anything; you say that he bore witness. He left a committed life so that people would never forget the suffering of people that he was connected to. King was prophetic because he lived a committed life. Now he did critique society, saying you're going to go under if you don't treat your poor right. I mean, that is part of prophetic calling, but it's not predicting anything.” PeopleIfsMeanSufferingLeftForgetPoorKingsCallingTreatsCommittedConnectedWitnessProphetNever ForgetBoresLutherCritiquePropheticPredicting Author:Cornel West

“How far does one combine resistance to over-control with social justice, i.e. tolerable living for people in general? We are too selfish to be trusted, if left free, to give away enough to make people comfortable enough to give them a chance. Yet if all this is ordered for us, as to some extent it has to be, it so soon leads to tyranny. It is a very difficult problem. If only human beings had more pity, unselfishness, and justice and didn't need coercion to treat each other decently.” PeopleIfsNeedsGivingHumansDoeEnoughProblemLeftSocialDifficultJusticeChanceHuman BeingsCompassionComfortableTreatsSocial JusticeSelfishTyrannyResistancePityTrustedCoercionTolerableUnselfishnessDifficult Problems Author:Rose Macaulay
