“We can choose to be the Incarceration Nation or, once again, become the land of the free.”
― A Vision of Hope: A Story of Redemption and Purpose
― A Vision of Hope: A Story of Redemption and Purpose
“. . . decades of research on public opinion have led to the conclusion that self-interest is a weak predictor of policy preferences . . . Rather, people care about their GROUPS, whether those be racial, regional, religious, or political . . . Political opinions function as "badges of social membership." They're like the array of bumper stickers people put on their cars showing the political causes, universities, and sports teams they support. Our politics is groupish, not selfish.”
