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

What to do when you see all ... So much of this is obvious but it seems not to everyone. Gosh we live in this ridiculous bully culture.. how do we escape? I follow what you say, always. Most of the haters are very, very young... young in weird ways.

I agree. And so did Ike. "Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America."

You've come a long way. And even tho I bust your chops sometimes, that's just bc 1) I actually respect you enough that I want to get you to agree with me so that you'll be right and 2) that's how New York Jews manifest camaraderie. Fuck the haters. All power to all the people.

These are people who sincerely thought they could decapitate a nation, destroy all the infrastructure including clean water and electricity and Paul Bremer could lead them to liberal democracy. Just remember the people in charge actually believed that nonsense and still do.
