"My philosophy of life is that the meek shall inherit nothing
but debasement, frustration and ignoble deaths; that there is
security in personal strength; that you can fight City Hall and
win; that any action is better than no action, even if it's the
wrong action; that you never reach glory or self-fulfillment unless
you're willing to risk everything, dare anything, put yourself dead
on the line every time; and that once one becomes strong or rich or
potent or powerful it is the responsibility of the strong to help
the weak become strong". - Harlan Ellison
(09/08/1973)

"I did not want to be mistreated, I did not want to be deprived of
a seat that I had paid for. It was just time... there was
opportunity for me to take a stand to express the way I felt about
being treated in that manner. I had not planned to get arrested. I
had plenty to do without having to end up in jail. But when I had
to face that decision, I didn't hesitate to do so because I felt
that we had endured that too long. The more we gave in, the more we
complied with that kind of treatment, the more oppressive it
became". - Rosa Parks (1992)

"If there is some corner of the world which has remained peaceful,
but with a peace based on injustices - the peace of a swamp with
rotten matter fermenting in its depths - we may be sure that that
peace is false. Violence attracts violence. Let us repeat
fearlessly and ceaselessly: injustices bring revolt, either from
the oppressed or from the young, determined to fight for a more
just and more human world." - Dom Helder

Nukes
By ANI
Zalmay Khalilzad, the former US envoy to Afghanistan, once
brushed off Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's claim, that the
US was 'arranging' the (suicide) attacks by Pakistani Taliban
inside his country, as 'madness', and was of the view that both
Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who believed in this US
conspiracy theory, were 'dysfunctional' leaders.

Leakers, Beware the Corporate Media
By Ray McGovern
The following is a Code-Orange Advisory to patriotic

anachronistically na�ve to expect the New York Times or other
organs of today's Fawning Corporate Media (FCM) to publish
classified material like the Pentagon Papers without their first
clearing it with the government.
