For as long as I can remember, I've always been interested in issues of social justice, political freedom, and civil rights.
If you care about injustice, and if you care about freedom, and you care about human rights, then you care about them everywhere.
Every individual should have both the right to join a union and the right to not join a union should they so choose. It's about basic human freedom.
Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.
The need for air transport is real, and it's not going to change. The key is to have the right business model and have the right initiatives, in my view, to succeed.
The real trouble with war (modern war) is that it gives no one a chance to kill the right people.

I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools.
We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.
Equality of rights means that some people cannot simply impose obligations on others, for the moral agency and rights of those others would then be violated.
I have very mixed feelings about Jesse Jackson. He's very good about labor, and human and civil rights issues, but not so good on cultural issues.
I just love good movies. And not every movie you're going to end up in is always going to turn out right, but at least walk into it with the right intention.
All I know is, he's a good kid, and he's done right all his life. And he always treats other people right.
Good breeding differs, if at all, from high breeding only as it gracefully remembers the rights of others, rather than gracefully insists on its own rights.
'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.
I respect the rights of those who do not share my beliefs, but to teach my faith to my children and to share it with anyone who will listen - that is my right, too.
In the '90s, there was scant presidential leadership and insufficient domestic political mobilization for foreign policy grounded in human rights.
