The Civil Rights Act was up for extension, as it was every five years by its original wording. It really hit me in the gut, because I hadn't really done anything affirmative, to sort of grab the president and shake some sense into him. So this had happened on my watch. Maybe it's not the case that each of these speakers needs no introduction, but precious few of them requires any hype. What they say, however, makes up for these quick moments of preparatory excess.
Luck is a big part of it.
A big thing, also, is that I don't get high. I never, ever smoked a joint in my life. It almost destroyed my father. You are who you are. You need to be who you are, whatever happens.
