America is an idea, but it's an idea that brings with it some baggage, like power brings responsibility. It's an idea that brings with it equality, but equality even though it's the highest calling, is the hardest to reach. The idea that anything is possible, that's one of the reasons why I'm a fan of America. It's like hey, look there's the moon up there, let's take a walk on it, bring back a piece of it. That's the kind of America that I'm a fan of.

Of course, I tell myself in quiet moments today: 'You've killed. In order to protect others and not be killed yourself.' But in the end: for what? The Third Reich trained 30,000 pilots.

The Olympic Games are for 'the youth of the world,' but they're organized and scored by countries.

Shaded with trees and leaves like a piggy bank filled with memories. You'll see why a person would want to live there forever.

For anyone who is not white in America, the affronts are virtually across the board.
