I'll never overstand how so many people, with so many resources at their fingertips, just sit back and watch the world. No matter what part of the world you call yours. No matter how small, or how apparently peaceful it is now. (You must feel the evils of the larger society, closing in on your little sanctuary of peace and prosperity, like the fly trapped in a corner of a window feels the human hand of death closing in on it!) being slowly devoured by the greed, lust and usury of the miserable few who mask their self-loathing in the misery of others.

How can we claim to love those who've fought and given up liberty for our sake, and do nothing to liberate them? How many international free Mumia rallies will there be before we, say, put a nail-file in the cake? Before we realize the criminality in the courts' toying with his/their liberty? How many more Georges, Jonathans, Richards, Nuhs must die before someone says - with action, not words - 'i won't stand for this injustice. i won't allow these political prisoners, and good men being held in the shu at places like Pelican Bay, to die in a cold cell isolated from everything and everyone they sacrificed for.' How long before some one says 'you know what? without the best minds sitting here around the campfire of love and liberation, we'll never have an egalitarian society.' How long, people, we'll keep playing at this thing? Children are dying. Their mothers and fathers are rotting in prison cells!
