"And yes, I am very worried about the troops, but I am also worried that my reproductive rights might be taken away from me. And I am as scared of terrorism as everybody else, but I am also scared that people over here are getting arrested by the FBI and the INS for having the wrong last name. And I am so, so sorry that there is so much starvation in Iraq and so much starvation all over there, but I am so sorry that there are young girls here that are starving themselves to death so they can look like the actresses on TV. I am hurt all over for this awful war and this stuff, but I am hurt because somebody just got called a fag, or a dyke, or a pansy, or a sissy, or a bulldyke, or a chink, or a nigger, or a kyke, or a wetback, or an injun, or a jap, or a bitch, or a whore, or a cunt. And unless to yo that's a term of endearment, because to me... in the right context it is, that person is being attacked because of who they are, and I don't accept that. I think racial minorities, sexual minorities, feminists both male and female, hell, all liberals, if we all got together and had this big Too Much Information, Do Go There voice if we just went and did it, that would equal power. And that power would equal change. And that change would equal a revolution."
