we let words like dominion be translated into dominate instead of its true meaning which is compassion and care. now, you would expect that once we know about a problem we would look for ways to solve it, but climate has been a particularly hard issue to get folks to engage in. but most of us know that it's a problem, and you do have to wonder why. what kind of a society continues to do things that we know are destructive, and what does it say about us as humans? what does it mean to be human in light of the climate crisis? when we know about a problem and we know what the solutions are and we do nothing, we've got to question our ethical and moral values. so i've maintained for ten years that the issue of global warming is the most important moral challenge of our time. it's the slavery issue of the 19th century. @the civil rights -- it's the civil rights issue of the 1960s, and there are similar stories. the one of tobacco? remember when the tobacco industry told us that smoking was not harmful to our health?

the king doesn't need to meet his subject in order to enjoy his dominion over them. i don't need to go to a rock to know there are a great number of people around the world, quiet unobtrusive, who experience stomach-turning terror when they see soldiers wearing the uniform of my country approaching their door in the middle of the night. now let's admit that some of the rougher people who seem to thrive in our country, people like dick cheney, for example, may practice and take actual pleasure from the thought of our country's soldiers smashing in the door of some modest house in some god forsaken region of the planet, forcing a family to huddle on the floor, administering kicks to anyone they like. perhaps, that may even be a modest clerk in the bank in kansas or a quiet housewife on a farm in ohio who feels a bit of enjoyable at a thought like that. but what bothers me more is that although i have nothing but contempt for imperial adventures, i've marched at the streets to demonstrate for peace. and i don't make it a practice to wink or joke about the brutal actions

and so, what the dominion decision meant kind of stripped of its abstraction was you are locking people up without charge indefinitely. you've got to give them a hearing. it's got to be before a judge and it's got to be without spelling the exact ins and outs. it's got to be a fair hearing to determine whether there's any truth to the government allegations. and what's happening in these hearings that are proceeding in the district court in washington is absolutely remarkable. in 38 of the cases that have gone to decision, judges have ruled in 30 of those cases, 30 out of 38 cases, that there is no basis for the detention and that the prisoners are effectively being held illegally. and it's not simply in the bottom line, but the way the courts have been doing that. and a number of the judges have been just utterly scathing in their criticism of the government continued detention of these individuals as if after all these years and holding people for so long, claiming that they're the worst of the worse, a threat to national security, there's no there there. the upper has no close and th

susan dunn had the same question in her book, "dominion of memories." she questioned the leadership in the first 50 years of the nation's history and the decline in influence thereafter. deep into the 20th century, the backward focus and the insular leadership, with the massive resistance to the racial equality, give us some -- gave thus far less significance than was reached by the founders. what better place than williamsburg on a rainy day, where patrick henry and thomas jefferson were inaugurated, to declare that virginia was once again ready to declare the mantle of national leadership. i can say this with confidence. virginia has achieved this goal. no state in america has enjoyed the success that we have seen in recent years. some of the remarkable for movement has been obscured by the very difficult national recession that we have been working on to get through since spring 2007. but we are well-positioned because of the economic and educational and political leadership. the virginian economy, today, is one of the most vibrant in the nation. we
