"'This bill does nothing for the Addie Polks of the world,' Kucinich said after telling her story. 'This bill fails to address the fact that millions of homeowners are facing foreclosure, are facing the loss of their home. This bill will take care of Wall Street, and the market may go up for a few days, but democracy is going downhill.'"

"You all certainly have a lot of questions. What do prostitutes wear, how much do they earn, who are their clients, what do strippers eat, where do they hang out, how tall are they? Yet somehow in all those questions 'are they exploited by club managers?' never comes up. Or 'how often after they blackmailed by police?' Or 'Isn't it a tad hypocritical that I can't stop consuming media that uses sex work as a flashy cover story, yet I don't think magazines should actually advertise sex work?'"

"If a person does not have the ultimate authority to decide when they have not been raped, then by default that authority is also in question when they decide they have been raped. And that is an authority that should not ever be put in question in either scenario, because it then denies that persons authority in all arenas and renders any choice or decision they make absolutely worthless and subject to disbelief. And that shit? That shit there is a soul-killer. That truly makes any and every person, a victim of rape or not, incapable of rendering any sort of thought towards, authority over, or boundaries to their own body, mind, soul, life, or experiences. And no one, and I mean no one, has the right to do that to another human being. No one has a right to call someone making that call for themselves a liar. No one has the right to make that call for anyone else, ever." WIN.
