An outstanding
speech by Bill Clinton, effectively an advice column and strategy letter
for the post-2002 Democratic party. From the conclusion:
Martin Luther King said the arc of history is long, but it bends toward
justice. The people, who want to be the benders toward justice have the
harder burden. You chose to be Democrats. Nobody made you. You made this
decision. And most of us are still here because we like being here. So we
lost a couple of elections. Big deal. Compared to the sacrifices others have
made to be agents of constructive change, so what? So I say, take a deep
breath. Decide what you believe. Rear back and go on.
