one more bit from bob herbert's column, black people need to roar out anger at such treatment, lift uphange. anyone count counseling a less militant approach is counseling self-defeat. your take on that? has this controversy got ain't lot of fodder at your conference or focused on issues that you were just addressing earlier? >> well, people -- i think what we hear, because this has been our focus, we hear a lot of people, and what we've asked for is that the congress pass the end racial profiling ability. this is a teachable moment for people to understand where the line should be drawn with the police, what the relationship between police and citizens should be. but it can't be solved, we can't move forward unless there's something substantive. the end racial profiling ability, proposed in 2001 by senator fine goal and representative conyers, lost w momentum after 9/11. we think it's time congress pick that up, it would ban racial profile, set up a data collection system, it would encourage the use of things like cameras, and i think that is the kind of step that we should take. and

now, we had one argument that herbert hoover made who was the spending arm o. coolidge administration, and he and some others said what we need is a kind of stimulus package. it includes road building especially, and we'll have these veterans come out and build roads. well, coolidge looked at that, and he said the same thing we've talked about here, if you have them out there building roads maybe that's well and good, but who's going to pay for it? entrepreneurs aren't investing. we need to get the veterans back to work working on jobs created by entrepreneurs. now, it's interesting, what do you mean new jobs? you can't answer that because you don't know what they're going to invent. why, air-conditioning, or scotch tape, gosh, it's hard to stick things here, somebody's going to invent scotch tape. you don't know what they're going to invent, that's the fascinating thing. you turn people loose. we had igor si corps sky, and he said america is a land of opportunity, they won't let me experiment in russia the way i want to, i'm coming over here to invent my helic
