. >> my name is henry james. the only thing i want to talk about is what the patients get out of this. they get compassion and they get a change. they get out of their environment. i look to the lord. this is what people really need so they can move on. have a heart. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is jonathan beaver. i am a native san franciscan and a medical marijuana patient. i think that not allowing this dispensary in this particular location would be a definite subtraction. it is a serious thing, and it is a matter of life and death. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is cora klein. i am a new member of san francisco since this may. i rely on the sanctuary status to get my medicine. as you can see, there are so many people with ptsd that need this, especially since the downturn. i imagine people in sunset need their medical cannabis dispensaries. it is like not letting a walgreen's open uppe. i have a problem with this baptist church bein

lolita was the first part and then you also talked about jane austen and you talked about henry james, and there was one other section. >> fitzgerald. >> great gatsby. why did you break the book into four? what was the point? >> well, actually, i felt that -- i mean, there are so many other books and writers that are my favorites, but i divided these books into sort of the times of my life, and i wanted to concentrate on books that explained these periods in my life, you know, sort of carried the rhythm of the life i spent in iran, and nabokov, as i said, is about confiscation of an individual's life and how individuality is at the center of what we call freedom today. james is about ambiguity, and how totalitarian mindsets hate ambiguity. they like black and white. gatsby is about the american dream, and our own dreams of revolution and how it was shattered, and austen is about choice. a woman at the center of the novel saying no to the authority of her parents, society, and welcoming the life of dire poverty in order to make your own choice. so that is how i divided them. but many o

and henry told me that james baldwin was so shaken not, he was so physically disturbed that he just sighednri, you need to take me to a bar and we need to get a drink. it you refused to do it and said no, we need to get to the tv station. in the interview thought it was still shaken not. this is a pivotal moment for the summer. it is only a few weeks later the president john kennedy announced his support for the most overreaching civil rights legislation since reconstruction and in a speech on june 11, he gave the most far-reaching statement of support for the civil rights movement as a moral cause, as an american cause. there had never been a speech as pro-civil rights in american history by a president. now, jerome smith was speaking intelligently. he was getting to the heart of the matter, which is that segregation in all ecosystems in fact depend on the consent of the people. it may not be the? coated for segregation. they didn't. they actually did vote for anything most of them. it may not be even that a lot of white voted for segregation. half the country was aloof of the whole civil

henry clay. he was the speaker of the house. he was a leader in the senate. he ran for president four times and nearly bested james cole. henry clay was called the great compromise or. during my orientation one of my colleagues came up to me andyas asked, will you be a great compromise or? i thought long and hard about that. is compromised a noble positiong is compromised a sign of enlightenment?o will compromise allow us to avoid the looming debt crisis? henry clay's life is at best a mixed message. c his compromises were over slavery. one could argue that he rose above sectional strife to keepo the union together, to preserve the union, but one could also argue that he was morally wrongd and that his decisions on slavery to extendsl slavery were decisions that actually may have even ultimately invited the war that came.an that his compromises meant that during the 50 years of his legislative career, he not only accepted slavery but he accepted the slave trade. in the name of compromise, henry clay was by most accounts not a cruel master, but he was a master nonetheless of 48 slaves, most ofst which they did not fre dur

and 410 years, the north prepared itself so that when he came again, and henry clay was dead, and who did they have, james buchanan and millard fillmore and franklin pierce, all of those biggies. [laughter] >> as you can instead, there is nothing i can do -- as buchanan said, there's nothing i can do. they have the perfect right to secede. he should have done what andrew jackson did. threatened them. i'll make a frog pond of your state and dispatch the soldiers. and then all of a sudden, they found abraham lincoln. it's incredible. he had two years experience in the house of representatives. he served illinois of course. who knew that this man would have the talent, would have the leadership. he would have to do hard things. he did many unconstitutional things, and went to the congress and said, nothing i have done that you can't give me the authority to do, because it has to be done. in order to save the union. if to save the union i have to free the slaves, i will do that. if to say the union, i only free some of them, i will do whatever it takes to save the union. and that's why i have titled this book

james hammer. the next medal of valor to be presented will be to lt. henry parra and sgt russell gordon. the nomination will be read by assistant chief denise schmitt, the commanding officer at parallel at the time of the event. on february 17, 2010, at 4:30 in the afternoon, lt. henry parra and started russell gordon of terrible station confronted a deadly situation on the 1800 block of urban street. 1800 block of urban street is a light commercial corridor, starts on 19th avenue and runs nw. it contains many restaurants and businesses and is surrounded by residents. in many of the businesses, they are owned by business owners -- they are owned by asian business owners. this was the beginning of the lunar new year. when they arrived to work, they decided to walk a foot speed on irving street. as they arrived on 1800 block, unbeknownst to them, two men with violent criminal histories or having an argument inside one of the restaurants. these men were career criminals with asian gang affiliations. their arrest histories include robbery, carjacking, trafficking, assault weapons. this argum

honorable gentleman, james madison tell you other important lessons which he imagines will result to us and mankind from the adoption of the system, henry told the delegates at the beginning what might've been the high point of his orator coal performance at the convention. he saw instead the awful immensity of the dangers of which it is pregnant. i see it. i've seen it. anxious, concerning our decision. when he look beyond the horizon that binds human eyes, at the final consummation of all things human, and so those intelligent beings which inhabit the answer your mentioned, reviewing, this is what they do, reviewing the political decisions and resolutions which in the progress of time will happen in america, and the consequence, happiness or misery of mankind, he understood how much we depend on what we now decide. at that point a violent storm shook the hall and forced henry to stop with as if the beings of a higher order in their mansions screamed out to support henry's subject. look, i couldn't make this stuff up. i've was not imaginative enough, but you can see these wonderful stories. and that's why the conventions the heart of m

when john quincy adams wrote and james monroe announced the monroe doctrine, western hemisphere is america's failure. and so by 1898 people like theodore roosevelt, henry cabot lodge, henry woods contended we need to get the europeans out of the western hemisphere. but interestingly enough, it was always spoken by those people who said we have to keep the spanish out that this is not to make you a part of an american empire. this is for the good of the cuban people, not primarily for the good of the united states. despite what is something that occurs in every word that the united states goes to. there is an aspect of altruism in the wars, and there's also an aspect of self interest. so many americans decided that we need to go to war against spain to say the suffering of cuban people. and that was a strong aspect of it. and those folks who had broader, we'll call them or in more imperialistic design, even though you could hardly find an american who had accepted the label and realism because imperialism reached at what the british were doing to the american back in 1870. but policies had been set. almost none of us that we want to enact facilities. so
