Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value.

I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education.

No part of the education of a politician is more indispensable than the fighting of elections.

America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to the select few.

I love to work with the younger kids who are trying to live out their dreams if in fact that's what they plan on doing after college to take the next step. A very select few have that opportunity so when you do have the opportunity you know those guys take advantage of it.

A plant-based diet has actually simplified my life in so many ways. For breakfast I try to get my first serving of fruits and nuts for fuel. I'm completely addicted to coconut water for the electrolytes and hydration.

I was elected to the Diet in the same way as at every parliamentary election.

When the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload I learned electronics and speaker design.

Leon Theremin's original designs are elegant ingenious and effective. As electronics goes the theremin is very simple. But there are so many subtleties hidden in the details of the design. It's like a great sonnet or a painting or a speech that is perfectly done on more than one level.

I have had this view of the optimization of the electrode design for a long time. Historically we went through various phases in the work and eventually worked on large sheets - very large sheets - of palladium.
