"Politicians are not leaders; they are followers. They think that, because they can plunder the public treasury, they are leading. In fact they are terrified of the people.

He preached a radical transformation based on what worked. He was the ultimate social activist who introduced concepts and practices that have revolutionized humankind. He was not a navel-gazer." by Peter Coyote during his recent interview with David Kupfer at The SUN magazine - entitled "Against the Grain"
