‘Daily Show’: Gary Hart’s ManifestoPosted on Sep 13, 2006

I agree with Gary Hart that we don’t have to sacrifice our personal liberties for security; the only ones who can destroy us is ourselves. We are our own worst enemies; reacting with fear and striking out in the same ways we have done in the past. This is a new century which calls for innovative ideas for living with other people in the world; otherwise we will die with other people in the world. I don’t think we can continue with the same self-destructive patterns. We need to make ourselves believe in the American ideals again; freedom and justice for ALL.

Hart is a very thoughtful man. What a shame that something as trivial as an extramarital affair prevented him from being a major presence in national politics for the past two decades.
