If you were asked to provide a 'tree diagram' for this paragraph, would you manage to do so?
"My concern has been the atrocities there in Darfur and the relevance to me with that issue as we spoke about Africa and some of the countries there that were kind of the people succumbing to the dictators and the corruption of some collapsed governments on the continent, the relevance was Alaska’s investment in Darfur with some of our permanent fund dollars."
Via Dick Cavett's NYT piece.
