I think the idea of getting money out of politics is critical.

As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it's the cycle of giving and getting.

I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

Well, it's the last step of the civil rights movement: You know, wrap your hands around some money, right?

As even a democracy like the United States has shown, waging war can benefit a leader in several ways: it can rally citizens around the flag, it can distract them from bleak economic times, and it can enrich a country's elites.

I am not a full-time politician but a 'sanyasi' who took the path of politics to serve the masses.

Should Sen. McCain capture the nomination as many assume, I believe this general election will offer the worst choices for President in my lifetime. I certainly can't vote for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama based on their virulently anti-family policy positions.

It's important to be able to sit together and form a government of the majority that serves everyone, and not a government of minorities that takes care of itself.
