What I heard was interesting, because it was a speech by a man called &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rusesabagina&quot;&gt;Paul Rusesabagina&lt;/a&gt;, who ran a hotel in Rwanda and helped protect over 1,200 people from being killed during the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide&quot;&gt;Rwandan genocide&lt;/a&gt; back in '94. He has a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0747583048/themorrisnetwo03&quot;&gt;book out&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.indybay.org/news/2006/04/1818570.php&quot;&gt;Indybay has some pictures and an MP3 (of much higher quality)&lt;/a&gt; available.

We are going to win, whether they want us to or not. Only now we are going to take down the television companies without them really looking.
