fleeing went the puerto ricans, escaping the same blackness, but impeled by the fear of blood, both physical and hereditary, fearing with greater horror the prospect of losing themselves in the anonymity that america forces on all of its people, both groups fought the country's wish for that homogenaity. they both retained both their irishness and puerto ricaness. both sides spoke of the ancestral home as if it was the land of milk and honey. this stance was staunchly held to, even though the deprivations endured by many had forced them to leave their island homes, yet inflexiblely they remained branded in their hearts, each year marching in pageants of ethnic excess. that's the first part. and the second part: the second part has to do with having in front of you a very odd-looking sort of leprechaunish -- latino leprechaun. as a matter of fact, in my novel that margaret spoke about, about jazz, in it, billy farrell, who is one of a very large number of characters, is a jazz pianist and before he begins playing a black leprechaun appears to him, mr. mcginniss so you can assume it's the ghos

a decents respect to the opinions of human kind dictate that they should declare the cause which impell them to dissolve the political bondage when a long training of abuses, pursues and evince as design to reduce a people under absolute desire pottism, then it is the right of the people to change that government and provide new guards for the future security and happiness. the declaration of independence. used to say, just a white man's knowledge. i said no, that's my knowledge. how come you can say that. i said 1 plus 1 equal two white man's knowledge. i said that's a fact. you know a mathematical fact. law. i always taught, we use dialectics. we like to do research. quantitative increase. you had to know and understand that when you came around me and doing organizing in the community. the increased amount of time you saw an area where you sell it and over and over you sell it 18en increased amount of time you talk to the brothers and sisters you are decreasing the apathy and increasing the consciousness. how do you educate the people about programs, about organizing. and unified the

basically a big impeller. there's blades coming off the bottom of that wooden shaft. water drops about seven feet or so, picks up speed, hits the blades just like rolling on a pin wheel spins the shaft around. putting a wooden tub around it keeps the water hitting the blades of the water wheel more. there's no bottom to the tub though so the energy expended goes out underneath and goes downstream. this wheel is probably using 50 gallons of water a second. the saw mills generate -- use about 300 gallons a second. so that's over a ton of water dropping eight feet every second. in the 19th century, people realized that these dams were stopping fish migration. when the pilgrims showed up, for example, in plymouth, five were migrating upstream. the new england salmon was getting up into vermont from long island sound. but they knew that once they started damming up rivers that the fish can't jump up the dams and they say, well, we're not getting the fish that grandpa used to get. but they're saying we need to power. it's kind of like you are driving an automobile. you know

point two, conservative moriality impels global warming denial, particularly individualism. tea party clearly doesn't deny every aspect of reality. if you tell them what the right day of mothers day is and it's the wrong day they're going to change their minds. so there's some things where you night be able to sway them. why global warming? well, here we have to look at the deep-seated, moral intuitions that differ from left to right, and i say intuitions because moriality is something felt, something emotional, and it sets you down a course of reasoning but it's prior to reasoning and not necessarily under your control. it's the deep sense you have of revulsion towards someone who disagrees with you or some situation. now, morally, conservatives in the u.s. tend to prize individualism. they prize a system which government leaves you alone. it's the opposite of commune tearan. a system in which the government takes care of the people and they tend toward hire arctic cal value, and individualists are threatened by the science of noble warming and they're threatened because it

impel it's great to have wall street experience. i don't have wall street experience.rienced growing up in a small town, a steel town npublic housing, in apartments and seeing how men and women of this country scraped and clawed because they had the opportunity to climb the ladder of success in america, a lot of those folks out there today feel like nobody in washington and no one in this debate is really talking about them. that's why this is a wonderful movement, as i travel around this country, and everywhere i go, i see people, people in work clothes, folks with children who are maybe not getting the educational opportunities that they had hoped for so they could climb that ladder of success, people who are look for someone to voice their concerns about how this economy is going to turn around for them, not just for those at the top of the income ladder. that's why i have talked about a manufacturing plant, an energy plan, someone who believes that if we create opportunities by, yes, cutting tax, but reducing the oppressive regulatory burden that this administratio

quite some time, and the numbers increase, and there is greater attention on syria, that that will impelork, maybe in concert, or perhaps cause the russians and the chinese to cave? >> that's fundamentally the problem, the russians and the feeding of armaments in this way and support. the problem is, this is a country that doesn't have civic institutions that exist outside of the control and patronage of this dynastic rule. the majority population has no ownership or control of any of institutions of state or any of the organizational apparatus that you need to be able to construct something after a terrible conflict. so that's part of the problem. i think, also, the other issue with regard to this particular country is it's far enough away from both europe and the united states for it not to be at the point on the agenda that libya was. for example, i mean, colleagues of mine have said, well, look at libya. but libya is on the border of europe. it has a lot of oil. and is very near italy. and a lot of people within nato had had enough. and that was why nato bombed libya. >> it's also fl

fast-forward to the work that i did was impact repertory theatre on arts and activism come impelling of people through the years, the leading them as have their voices heard about what's going on and when you combine an activist and artist, we like to call it an artist. at columbia university where he a professor for 14 years. as a young panther would go on campus and the students would take over the campus in protest of the war, columbia was a hotbed that had the the panther is abroad, but neither should the panthers what kind of clothes that show. as a young panther i knew my job was to get the crowd on fire. i would give his speech that goes something like others and sisters, if columbia doesn't recognize the war in vietnam is a war and they don't recognize the united states military does not apply in vietnam the way to new york city occupies holland business campus, brothers and sisters they need to do more than take this campus over today. you need to burn the place down. students of course we cheer. fast forward 40 years and i'm working towards a class. the alma mater suet set

the motive that impels me is restricted to no such boundary but is as broad as the constitution and i advocate it because it is right. the chicago tribune reported watching mr. elliott give this great speech and watching the elderly alexander stephens deliver a very dry speech from his wheelchair in the will of the house. they reported that elliott had a harmony of delivery that resonated with the entire chamber. mr. elliott has demonstrated a real force of a new order of things. elliott left the 40 third congress for greater political opportunity. he became speaker of the south carolina state legislature. state house of representatives. like so many african-americans believe it would very soon struggle later in life with the opportunity to participate in politics at the state level. he died in obscurity in 1884 after jim crow laws and segregation have defended in the house. with very little public notice. i want to move to the second-generation we profiled in the book. this generation of african-americans, this is a story that really is one. we dated between 1887 and 1989 and it is o

number two, hopefully he is a man who has some faith certainly which impels one to get through it.ber three, visitors and friend, hopefully, who will not abandon him and come visit him as frequently as possible. i was in prissen for 185 weekends and i had visitors every weekend and that helped me considerably. frankly, keeping your sense of humor. you cannot become depressed and it is a place of pain. people in prison are in pain and some are there much longer than governor blagojevich is going to go and it's a horrific experience. >> why did you write the book? >> why did i write the book? one, i wanted to get out what happens in washington and what's been going on here in d.c., behind the doors. the doors that i operated behind and hope that people would become informed and perhaps do something about it which is what i'm working on now. number two, i wanted to tell my story. my story was mangled in the press. i sat quietly as this thing happened to me and i couldn't really speak and i wound up getting all kind of tales told about me that i thought were inaccurate. >> jack, how sc

is going on in syria me guest: it is an intriguing question about what impelled the arab spring. the scholars are work with who are genuinely least experts who have lived in the region, constantly visit and study in the region, they are unanimous in seeing this as very much a homegrown and natural uprising in the arab countries. host: a picture of the helicopter that went down in the capture and killing of osama bin laden, one of our viewers asks how many secret wars we are fighting. guest: almost nothing is secret in the current electronic media environment we operate in. i understand that secrecy is so much a part of special operations and being absolutely necessary for the survival of the forces as they conduct missions. it is their armor, so to speak. because of that, it lends a sense, the idea that other things are being hidden when these missions are conducted. everything being done it is known to the appropriate congressional committees in the house and senate, in large measure because they fund these. the operations -- the place where the reader could look to study some o
