I don't just want a better deal for Britain. I want a better deal for Europe too. So I speak as British prime minister with a positive vision for the future of the European Union. A future in which Britain wants, and should want, to play a committed and active part.

I can't let time move on without fighting tooth and nail and hopefully being a part of a revolution that is positive.

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday.

But you see, our society is still trapped in this binary, black/white logic and that has had some very positive implications for our generation.
