Socialism isn't just a list of economic prescriptions for government. Perhaps above all, socialism is a moral view.
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.
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.
Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
If you learn the language of loss early, I think you seek out others who have experienced the same thing, who speak that same language of loss.
I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.
The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
I can begin to understand how anchor monsters are made. If you're not careful, you can become used to being treated as though you're special and begin to expect it.
You do what's in your gut- if you've been doing it long enough, what's in your gut will be appropriate.
We heard church bells ringing. We heard people yelling, screaming, clapping. A friend of one of the miners came over, crying, to tell us that he had heard and just been told in the church that 12 of them (miners) had been found alive.
Those of us who were here and have had the privilege to cover it, and to witness these triumphs and these tragedies, will never forget it and will carry it with us. That's part of the fear of leaving, that people will forget and coverage will go elsewhere. And there are so many answers we need to get.
To me, those are the heroes of the story. It was government that failed. It was people who stood up.
