you drink it and toss it away." ; "I think San Francisco has enough mental complexes without adding physical complexes." ; "When you get into a philosophical change in government, then it takes time." ; Supes refuse street closing for parade.
Part 6: 1978, Milk vs. Briggs." ... the whole concept behind democracy and the Constitution is to protect the rights of the minority, not the majority." ; "Just because something has been a law for a long time doesn't make it right." ; "If more people got involved on every level
both sides, all sides
this nation would be a lot better off." ; "Who are we to say that another person must be put to death? I cannot make that decision over another's life." ; "John Briggs: How many careers ruined, how many lives destroyed, before you are satisfied in your thirst for power?".
