<BR>A "case" of what? Third stage syphilis?
<BR>
<BR>I know it should not be, it remains amazing to me how certain romantics of
<BR>the 'smash the state' variety, a la Cockburn, manage to quickly gloss the
<BR>loss of innocent life on a massive scale, so long as it is down in the name
<BR>of opposing the American state.

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