Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage.

I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. I think that I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that. ↗

As far as dramas are concerned, it's considered passe for playwrights to turn out anything the average person can understand. ↗

I considered myself engaged in a war from Day One. And my objective was to force the federal government - the Kennedy administration at that time - into a position where they would have to use the United States military force to enforce my rights as a citizen. ↗
