Upton Sinclair - Terrorist

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Oh, I was quoting it for people who didn't click on the PDF.  Because I know some people wont.

Charles Tilly has long been a hero of mine.  He and Smedley Butler - for vastly different reasons - had the knowledge and the moral authority to tell it like it is.  Butler won 3 medals of honor (actually 2 and a brevet medal, which at the time was the same thing).  It's kind of hard to question his patriotism.  Tilly was the father of modern sociology, and breathed fire at the podium.  Not like a preacher, but more as if fire were his natural atmosphere.

And I didn't click on the PDF because I can't click on the PDF.  I tried, but nannywall.  There seems to be no actual rhyme or reason to what it allows and won't allow.

I've never understood how it can be a crime to take a picture of a crime.

Then this most emphatically is NOT going to be your decade.

I got a feeling it's going to be a long century.

Couldn't agree more about crime being whatever arbitrary thing authorities decide. Downright insidious.

For some people, it won't be very long at all.
