I am listening to people's questions and getting answers. I am least of all interested in any TV anchor's opinion, and least of all my own.
I can't imagine going back. I'm going to have to at some point, but I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't know.
There is elation at this moment. The news just coming a short time ago that the 12 miners are alive.
Hundreds of reporters, in all media, did heroic work on the Gulf Coast in the deadly storm's aftermath. None arguably was as financially and symbolically important to his company as the job turned in by Williams. It could solidify his spot as network news' top anchor.
I wouldn't call it looting. What I have seen is desperate people kind of wandering around here in downtown Gulfport. There are a lot of police here in Gulfport, so you can't get away with looting. But I have seen people picking stuff up from the wreckage. I saw a man with two bottles of olive oil. He was hoping to try to cook something up. He says he has no water. He doesn't really have much of a place to go. So there are a lot of people just desperately in need.
To me, those are the heroes of the story. It was government that failed. It was people who stood up.
I don't feel like I'm doing anything different.
I don't feel I'm very present in each moment. I feel like every moment I'm either thinking about something that's coming down the road or something that's been in the past.
Congo is one of the least-developed countries in the world, and has millions of acres of virtually untouched forest.
I'm always uncomfortable with that notion of setting people up in order to kind of promote, you know, some sort of a face-off.
Socialism isn't just a list of economic prescriptions for government. Perhaps above all, socialism is a moral view.
I believe in a society where all people do well. Not just a handful of billionaires.
I've never had a 12-year-old try to explain to me about groove.
If you've ever swum in the ocean, and you go underneath the waves, you know, you're kind of moved by the currents, but you're not being slapped around at the top of the water by the waves. And that's sort of what meditation is like.
