When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it's the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone's talking about.

If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost. ↗

I liked the fact that there were so many different representations of black women and black men in the movie. It wasn't like we all had the same agenda. ↗

A President doesn't have a terribly long time to talk to people who are not really on the agenda. ↗
