And The Words 'equal Protection' And 'due Process' Inevitably Led To The End Of The Words 'separate But Equal,' Ensuring That The Walls Of Segregation Would Crumble, Whether At The Lunch Counter Or At The Voting Booth.

I Was In Sit-ins To Desegregate Restaurants And Movie Houses In The '60s.

This Is Absolutely Bizarre That We Continue To Subsidize Highways Beyond The Gasoline Tax, Airlines, And We Don't Subsidize, We Don't Want To Subsidize A National Rail System That Has Environmental Impact.

As You Probably Know, Some American Politicians And American Journalists Refer To Washington, Dc As The "capital Of The Free World."
