“ I think there’s a change taking place and people realize we can’t keep building jails. This isn’t the solution. This is a temporary fix on the problem. If we want to stop building jails, we’ve got to get back to building children. Once you get kids pointed in that direction, you’re not going to have that problem with jails at the end of the day… to build a jail [is] not the ultimate solution. The ultimate solution is to build our children. ”

“ There’s a story about a Southern schoolteacher and her class which illustrates FDR’s quasi-divine status below the Mason-Dixon line… “Children, who paved the road in front of your house?” asked the teacher. In response the chorus, “Roosevelt!” “Who put electricity into your house for you?” “Roosevelt!” “Who gave your uncle a job in the WPA?” “Roosevelt!” “Who got your granddaddy an old age pension?” “Roosevelt!” “All right, children. Now, who made you?” After a moment of silence one little boy asserts stoutly, “God!” Whereupon a barefoot boy leaps in the back row and yells, “throw that sorry Republican outta here! ”
