Joe Biden from an on-stage interview with Patt Morrison of the LA Times.

> Joe Biden: I only had two political heroes in my whole life. And this is not new,
> I mean I've said this since 1972: Dr. King and Robert Kennedy. And up to that
> point there was a war raging, there was a a bitter fight over even whether we
> should talk about the environment, women were still viewed as second-class
> citizens and not prepared to have significant jobs and thought that, and we were
> told the people didn't talk to one another over the war. And we were told: drop
> out, go out to Haight-Ashbury, get engaged; you know shortly after I graduated '68
> Kent State -- 17 kids shot dead. And so the younger generation now tells me how
> tough things are. Give me a break. No no -- I have no empathy for it. Give me a
> break. Because here's the deal guys: we decided we were going to change the world
> and we did. We did. We finished the civil rights movement to the first stage. The
> women's room had came into being. So my message is: get involved...
