I have alternating feelings of incredible depression and barely controllable 
rage when I read some of the post-WTC e-mails to this list. Are folks so 
removed from simple sentiments of human compassion, much less feelings of 
human solidarity, that in the face of thousands of innocent human lives 
destroyed, they can do nothing more than spin justifications for such mass 
murder, and even join in celebrations of it. How sad that you are so detached 
from your humanity. How fucked that you think mass murder has anything to do 
with human liberation and human freedom; you are prisoners of an ideology 
that has lost all real touch with its purported ends. How pathetic that all 
you can do is quarrel over how many thousands are dead, as if the escape of 
intended victims makes this murder less of a crime. I feel no kinship 
whatsoever with those of you who have posted these notes; you are the spin 
masters of mass murder.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.
It never has, and it never will.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who 
want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and 
lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
-- Frederick Douglass --
