and said ‘we'll dance on your grave Julie"
to Judge Julie, and... wait a second...
that's okay you can interrupt but I
didn't get to finish...but the Judge later
said when he denied permission for any of
our family to sit in, he said that "one
young lady threatened to kill me". You
see you've got to understand the difference
in that kind of language, I mean was that
a threat I don't know, it was symbolic it
was poetry. I have a book here, the book
was a key evidence (a book that I wrote
here in America) used against me to send
me to prison. <A book! A book that I
wrote and published. Two television
interviews like this was used to send me
to prison. That's right. Well thats
true, its always easy to believe in free
speech when you have people come on that
like don't raise any controversial issues.
Its easy to have it that way. Thats what
America always had anybody who has said
anything has always been shot or put in

Well, frankly I don't see one because I
don't see any country having the technology
that this country has and the importance
and the relevance of that technology in
terms of developing revolution, a post
scarcity economy. But I do see the spirit
in Cuba.
If you had to pick one.....
I would like to but I travel first class
1f you give me the money.
Okay, okay we got the message there!
Do you have a hero?
