“As long as my record stands in federal court, any American citizen can be held in prison or concentration camps without trial or hearing. I would like to see the government admit they were wrong and do something about it, so this will never happen again to any American citizen of any race, creed, or color.” LongGovernmentHappensRaceRecordsColorCitizensCourtPrisonHearingTrialsConcentrationCampsCreedsAmerican CitizensConcentration Camp Author:Fred Korematsu
“Comeback records always worry me, especially when they're made by one of my heroes, and I'd heard stories about Gil Scott-Heron recently, about drug arrests and prison terms and other troubles.

“The regime of control tightens inexorably in our schools, many of which now have video cameras, police patrols, chain-link fences, random unannounced locker searches, metal detectors, drug-sniffing dogs, networks of informants, undercover police posing as students, and a comprehensive system of passes so that there is a record of each student's authorized whereabouts at all times.

“I wrote 90 percent of the record in prison. A lot of people wonder, "How the hell did you do that?"

“I wrestled and played football in high school and in my last year, I started as a wrestler and actually had a fairly good record. But I hated to lose. I always gave it everything I had which, unfortunately, was not as much as I'd hoped for. But keep in mind, I feel like I got the most out of my ability. One moment that was special above all the rest was winning my last bout at the Naval Academy to finish the entire summer undefeated. That was thrilling, but what's more, it helped me in prison because the first time I got knocked around by the Vietnamese, it did not come as a total shock.” FeelsYearsMindFirstsMomentsSchoolLastsWinningLosesAbilityRecordsSpecialFootballSummerHigh SchoolFirst TimePrisonHatedShockLast YearThrillingAcademyNavalWrestlerVietnameseUndefeatedGood RecordsNaval Academy Author:John McCain
