You alone must do the drills, repeat the core exercises, stretch, and lift the weights.

It is up to you to have the responsibility and self-discipline to get the job done.

I think if you're a liberal, you believe that we all are, at least to some extent, our brothers' keepers, you really believe that we have a sumptuary responsibility to make sure that life is decent for everybody in America, that you believe that society out to be broadly shared, and you believe that you can't have a real democracy unless you have a little bit, at least, of economic democracy.
