1/ I’m trending tonight because people are mocking a clip of my conversation with Jim Cameron where I told him about a conversation I had with some peace activists in the Middle East. There’s a line in Avatar about how the Mother does not take sides, just wants to restore balance

2/ I told Jim it was a very powerful moment & people in the room were nodding their heads. I told him that some of them told me they had seen Avatar. So the pseudo-intellectuals are having a hoot about that tonight, that I’m so naïve see, so ridiculous, so wacky & unsophisticated

3/ It’s much like when I said the PM of New Zealand would be my first call as president. “Oh she’s so stupid.” Like when I said we should pay reparations, or see our healthcare system as a sickness care system, or realize the scourge of environmental injustice. Such a silly girl!

4/ Well I have this to say about the Middle East. Our political establishment has not solved the problem, and it will not be solved on the level of the green line or traditional diplomacy or military action. It will only be solved on the level of the heart.

5/ There are people there who know this, who live ever day w/ pain & fear beyond what any of us can imagine. Sincere Muslims, Christians & Jews who do not laugh at the thought that they need a miracle. I do not apologize for telling that story. It’s not ridiculous; it’s important

It was a great interview by the way. I found the whole thing very profound, as are most of your interviews.

Let them mock. Mocking is easy. Running for President is difficult. And if you run for President again, I'll be supporting you. Again.

You are a gift. Your spirituality allows you to see beyond the current material condition and envision what we “can be” if we make the choice. That prophetic gift is similar to other greats like MLK, Ghandi, Rev Barber and more. You are a VISIONARY leader. Because these

You just put things in ways people don’t expect. Like they expect to hear that talk from their neighbors and friends, but not from a politician. But what you say has so much truth and validity to it, I wish the media would get over how you say things and focus on your ideas

I always find your words to be inspiring and lovely. You fight for someone you don't know and have nothing but love in your heart. You keep on being you and don't pay any mind to the haters. I for one, am glad you exist, and I'm glad you bring such a unique perspective!

I would have asked Cameron why the top corporate malefactor in his film got off without a scratch, while the chump military mercenary was portrayed as the ultimate antagonist who needed to die violently.

Thank you for this. Your empathy and compassion is what makes a lot of us love you. People think you're crazy or naive. But honestly, you're just speaking to the core of the issues and providing solutions people aren't used to.
