do that? >> you can buy the 2 liter bottle. >> why not do that? >> why do it at all? >> you just get free refills. >> then why do this? >> exactly. you have no answer. >> it is true. last night after the show we were doing an e-mail list. and we get one from andy and the subject goes, "unreal." >> i see you want to jump in. i have a question for you, but go ahead first. >> i was going to say you can change this argument by moving to california where we live and you can have your own swimming pool and fill it with mountain dew and drink however much you want. >> but you can't use plastic bags or stuff like that? >> no, we know what is good for you over here. >> is it unfair to wonder what happened to liberalism? liberalism used to be keep your hands-off my body, free love, all of the fun stuff. and now it seems liberalism has become a sort of -- it has turned into fanyism -- nannyism. >> i have never seen your -- i have never seen you be a huffy bunny. we can't do anything about syria because we are sitting at home. but it cuts to the heart of america. if people want t

why do we accept that? why don't our organizations challenge at the senior level the subconscious bias that senior managers have, who are 90% men, but there are some pretty solid women up there, too, who for some reason seem to think that when they got to a senior position, they should lift up the draw bridge after them. why do we accept it as a community? and why don't we have the passion to really change it? what is wrong? i look at this audience. why is it 90% women? why don't the men at this conference care enough to be here to find out the situation for women? what's driving us? what are our passions, and where do we want to go? so i would challenge that the biggest challenge for us is finding men who will push the

that is the reason why i do. i do it because betty cooper lost two sons in the bay view to violence. it still remains unsolved. in 1996, when my son was killed, 96 homicides in san francisco. everybody seemed to think that it was just another day in my community. no one knew the pain i was suffering. no one knew when i was going through. no one knew how this affected my family, my children, my community. no one seemed to care. i do it because what happened in columbine should have happened in my neighborhood, and it did not. there was no one there for me when this happened to me. [applause] there were no counselors, and nobody come into my house to ask me questions about what happened. the already labeled my son in the papers as a gang member. they labeled him as a drug dealer. no be had came to me -- no media came to me to ask me about my child. the people in my community seamen visible -- seemed invisible, and that seems unfair. i do because i want to see justice. i want to look at the person who killed my son

why do i want to know why? why do i want to know why? i want to get you killed, too.

why are you carting this black child off? they'll assume the child was a slave. whereas if you're doing it in pennsylvania, you would be stopped by all kinds of people, saying why are you kidnapping this child? >> who is behind these gangs? >> people who are professional criminals. the most interesting one is a woman named patty canon. she has a gang of kidnappers, including some mixed race people, people of both african and european descent, to help entice children on the theory that the children will be more comfortable with somebody who appears to be african-american. that's one piece of it. the more interesting piece, in some ways -- i shouldn't say the more interesting piece because they're both interesting. that tells us something about human trafficking, but also suggests that trafficking in children, which is an international problem today, is nothing new. maybe it's easier to traffic children because they are less able to assert their rights. they're less able to escape. they're less able to fight back. so that's one piece of it. the other piece of the panel was about the inter

has been asking iran why do you need military technology is on the button why do you need the so-called nuclear explosive devices. an actual meaning other components that are of no use for anything except for the production of nuclear weapons. and he i.e. he's getting no answers we're not talking about our expert community a big key authority in this syria that is not getting the answers the league grew up with the let them. look at the you voicing their opinion of the luxemburg form certainly as far as i can see is rather in line with the stance of the west than with that of moscow because as far as i understand you think least correct me if i'm wrong if these positions differ somewhat to the west generally has a sharper response at least progress to the point of discussing airstrikes against iran's nuclear facilities or is moscow keep saying it doesn't see a thread this is a peaceful program in iran has the right to develop civilian nuclear facilities with just that against you know we are now entering an area that isn't sectarian porton well this is. why do we need a toll such civil

why do we have an electoral college. why don't we elect the president directly. madison says the best thing is for the people to directly elect the president i.e. popular vote. al gore beats george bush because he has more votes. madison says there's two problems with that. first the difference in the franchise. meaning that in south carolina only adult white men who own a certain amount of property can vote whereas in massachusetts all adult men, black, indian, white can vote and in new jersey even women can vote. so what madison is saying is that we would have a difference in the franchises as to who can vote and that would skew the election to favor some states over others. that could have been dealt with, you know, the constitution could have said all adult males or adult white men. they weren't going to franchise women could vote in the president's election. a lot of ways to do it. then madison says the most par is there are slaves. he doesn't mean the slaves who vote. what he means is that if you have a presidential election that's a popular vote there won'

why do we need to have this and congressional black caucuses why do we need the separation? >> i do not think this separation. it's a celebration. these colleges do amazing things with less resources. they have less financial capacity. >> why do we have less financial support? >> i think that this aggression for the congress. they are focused on different minority institutions. the budget is going to be reduced over time. that had an impact. the school had issue with the size of their endowments. there are lots of reasons. >> the university of washington and seattle, how did you pay for it? >> student loans. i'm still paying for it. >> how long will you? but i do not know. maybe after i leave the government and have a good high- paying job. >> if you did ousted loans, why cannot everybody else? why should there be favoritism? >> where do see that happening? >> i thought that is what he meant by the historical black caucus. >> the funding is for the institution and not for the students. for a program, in have to have a certain income level. for most of my undergrad, my parent

why do they support us. why do we have citizen volunteers at cpmc who put in 100,000 volunteer hours a year? here is why. here is why we have attracted so much community support. they understand the importance of quality health care professionally and humanely deliver. they have a sense of security in all of uthis. so many are grateful patients. no one is forcing them or paying them to support cpmc with their volunteer time and treasurer. they do it because the overall system works well. they feel secure. [tone!] security in health care means they do not want to be concerned about seismic safety in their own hospital. i cannot express how significant an issue this is with them given the seismic history of san francisco. i encourage you to support cpmc. please bring seismic safety and top support -- top-level help support to san francisco. supervisor mar: next speaker. mr. carpenter, i did not call your name. if your name has not been called, please respect the process. many people have been waiting for sever

merton, why do we have to hear from inspectors becker and danielle? >> we would attempt to limit their testimony to the demeanor of ms. lopez and the summary of what they did. >> how is her demeanor going to help us decide whether or not this contract has occurred? >> it pertains to the dissuasion count and to what happened between her and the sheriff. the sheriff has maintained there was a single grabbing of her arm in order to protect his son from his wife. and we disagree. we do not think the facts match that. the facts were different as ms. lopez told ms. madison and ms. williams, it was a much more serious conflict between her and the sheriff. every piece of evidence that bears on her demeanor and mental state and the credibility of her statements at different times is relevant to the determination about what happened between the sheriff and ms. lopez. chairperson hur: why would we need the inspectors? >> we may not. chairperson hur: if you have to choose one of them, who would it be? >> without looking a great deal, we can go with one of them. w

. >> stephen: why do you do theater? because you do t.v., do movies. going back to do theater, that's like, you know, having like a sports car but occasionally you get on one of those penny fartherrings with a big wheel in front and the little wheel in back. why do you want to do it? >> well, i think probably because of that. when you're doing t.v. or something else you're only performing to a very small group of people in the studio and you don't get any kind of media see, you don't see it all the way through, either acting on it or observing it and when you come to new york and see a broadway show there's a thousand people in the audience and everyone is watching the same show so i admire the actors and singers and dancers doing it every single performance, twice on saturday, twice on wednesday and i admire it as an audience member. i just think that that's a cool, like, physical feat. they're more athletes to me than they are... >> stephen: do you think the olympics should allow theater? (laughter) >> it would be a tremendous olympic event. >> steph

why do we as christians do that?ou know, why do we help people who are not from our own clan, from our own ethnicity, from our own faith tradition? why do we help people that aren't texans, really? and the answer is our faith teaches us to love. our faith teaches us charity, caritas, agape. i'll do the greek and latin before dr. land. in other words, at the core of our christian faith, our shared faith, we're taught to be generous, be sacrificial, to help the samaritan, or to be the samaritan. so what's more heinous in this is that this administration, barack obama's definition of what a religious institution -- any religious institution, whether it's catholic or baptist, church of christ, methodist, is that it's religious if it serves only its own. so in effect he is saying we will recognize you as religious if you're not charitable, if you're not generous, if you are not loving, if you are not imitating christ, if you are not a disciple, so he's cutting the heart out of christian life, the life that ironically is b

it's like that's what you do in your profession. >> why do you think i'm going to do that?because are you an adult film star. it's what you do. >> that's what you're saying is all i do is have sex with people. i don't do anything else. >> you're probably having sex right now. >> no. uhm. >> i was just going to go there and be his prom date and do all the normal prom stuff. >> okay but what does "normal prom stuff "mean to a porn star? probably he would have a flower for her. where would he put that flower? >> there would be nothing to pin it to, so he better get a wrist one. >> then what happens? >> suddenly they're in this limo without adult supervision. >> they're alone? >> yeah. i hope that she wouldn't seduce him, but then again, that's what she does for a living. >> and we all know if you do something for a living, that's all you ever do. like how profootball players tackle everyone they see and, there were, would never be allowed at prom. jies jois grendal, an independent hool student, tweeted hayden and asked the football star to be her prom date tonight. hayden said

even we've always why do you want the reason why the change in the imagery was so when i do you see me making the move to the image of that wish i was in the do you want to. do you want the job did the do you want me to the now you're in just one of the issues that would have meant more in the naive the show was in the wish the issue the didn't. but i do want to do that i. want to live you know. where we're keeping a close eye on developments in egypt for you where you can get up to date by logging on to our facebook page and twitter feeds we've got all the very latest. illegal. football fans revel in the thrills on the pitch when you are twenty twelve others have been excited because the twenty perils weeks of heavy drinking party sarah first found out where the british supporters knew when enough's enough. they use the tickets they'll be in a better place to catch the game than down the local pub watching football in the pub can be absolutely fantastic it's a great big communal shared experience and many great games big hundreds of people there's n

they sensually do why is it that. i would put it this way in every single meeting of the forum that i reserve common understanding of a fundamental. which probably overlooked by the general public. leaving aside old the details of. nuclear safety and start moving much toward the universal disarmament if you will. there is just one prerequisite. confidence and understanding between the world's nuclear powers russia in the united states the experts are aware of that that's the bottom line ball if there was absolute confidence between russia and the united states the world. could have been able to get down to practical measures for arms reduction a long time ago and we have done nothing to debate it because both mr putin in his first presidential term and then use presidents george w. bush have declared the cold war over and said we are strategic partners not i think you just keep what you are what we're of the practical steps to back this up. so i'd like to laugh a size thirty if only i'd there was genuine confidence ba

why do we have an electoral college? why don't we elect the president directly? at the constitutional convention, they discussed this. james madison says, and i'm quoting from him, "the fittest thing," that is, the best thing, "would be for the people to directly elect the president. i.e. popular vote. to use the most obvious example, al gore beats george bush because he has more votes. but madison then says, there are two problems with that. the first is the difference in the franchise, meaning that in south carolina, only adult white men who own a certain amount of property can vote, whereas, in massachusetts all adult men, black, indian, white can vote, and in new jersey, even women can vote. so what madison is saying is that we would have a difference in the franchise as to who could vote and that would skew the election to favor some states over others. but that could have been dealt with. you know? the constitution could have said all adult males or all adult white men. they obviously weren't going to enfranchise women. could vote in the president's electio

it answers the question, why do you write that? i write to tell the story. one that has fallen through the cracks, one marginalized by main stream history. either misrepresented or represented to the way in which it is a stereo typical, write to take those stereotypes, reshape them and give them back to you dressed in a new dress. i mean when i say different is not a synonym for wrong, it means that we should celebrate those things. everyone in this room is different in some way. but you should not feel bad about that. your uniqueness, as my grandson who loves to make up words, that is your wonderment. [laughter]. it answers that question that we get asked most often is why do you write? you can say pat is write to tell that different story and different is not a synonym for wrong. before i was a writer, however, i was a listener. i grew up listening to stories. listening to language. come with me to nashville, tennessee to an old farmhouse set back off the road, a little house, window here, window here and doorway that looked like a face. the windows, door,

live well you know schoolteachers are definitely are in more banks why do you think that schoolteachers earn so much less than people who don't necessarily add as much value as you do i think it's because we're just good natured and we are caring and we don't we're not in it for the money sound yes so those kinds of jobs are going to get paid less because you're not greedy as much money as i need. to live healthy and with my family. and just to be lucky i think that's that's all i don't need that much money no more than that no more than that do you think if you made more than matt you'd be happier that's no i think you spend what you make so no matter what you're just going to spend what you make yes so if you make eighty thousand dollars you're going to spend more i'm going to spend more and i'm getting a bigger house and a bigger boat and everything else to go with it you don't need that stuff. yes a view of. the bottom line is your annual salary might increase but that doesn't mean your happiness will necessarily increase with it. now does it for now for more on the stories we cover

so given that, why do we say we do not need you, district attorney to come back. thank you very much. >> thanks. supervisor chu: thank you. why do we not go to that? >> good afternoon, madam chair and commissioners. moon i am going to keep this very brief. the court used to be funded by the city for all our operations, but that changed when state legislation removed responsibility of all trial courts and placed it with the city. the court receives $80 million in state funding to operate the court, but we still operate two city functions that have not transferred to the states, and those staffing the grand hatchery and managing the defense program, and it is to provide recommendation in cases of public defender cannot take due to unavailability. these are the functions of that constitutes the budget, and we are in full agreement with the budget analysts office. good as they recommend a reduction to the budget, and i am happy to take any questions you may have to. >> any additional comments? >> i have no additional comments. >> thank you for taking the time to agree

earlier question about racism and how do we just not see things it's because our country does not like its own history but we want to get really honest about that's why every time you bring up don't ever bring up slavery i don't ever do those things because we can't handle that the actually the actual reality of what we what has happened and what's what's been done the country can't handle so that's why it's constancy of the road when you bring up race when you connect the dots this happens because of a and this happens because of the it's like no no because the you have to acknowledge history and that's something that we have a very hard time doing this in the last thing on the last thing that i want to bring out and you can work your solution into that because they're running out of time here. and you guys obviously use comedy to talk about these topics so i'm going to tell me why you think that's so important if it's better for us to try to laugh through it or if it's easier to try to laughter i don't know and then at the same time if we're talking about this issue of poverty so much of inequality in the country and you have the occupy movement an

laws that you know should be interpreted properly then why can't our lawmakers just abide by that why do they have to keep pretending like we need something that you know i think it's healthy in that it starts the conversation and i don't think it's the case that saying we believe in privacy on the internet solves any of the substantive debate people have about how to balance privacy against law enforcement or against for example a right to free speech and sometimes those two things you know bump into each other the actual debates you still need to have but it's good to start the conversation in a way more than the specific rights they're talking about i think what's important here is the approach they're taking the question sourcing you know if you think about the way internet standards get made and the way laws get made there are very different pictures you know sopa is a good example of how laws get made you have a couple of industry stakeholders and lobbyists getting together in a backroom and maybe if you're lucky you know sometime before the bill actually hits the floor and it does
