Where does the energy feedstock come from? It all comes from rural areas. Where does your military come from? Nearly 35 to 40 percent of the military is from 15 percent of America's population living in rural America. It makes a tremendous contribution to this country. It just isn't recognized.
What does a political revolution look like? It means that 80 percent of the people vote in national elections, not 40 percent.

There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.
In community after community, there are unemployment rates among young African-Americans of 30 to 40 percent. Thirty to 40 percent! Kids have no jobs, they have no future.
