We lost," [Alston] said of '60s activists. "Let's not brag" about those times. "And the young folks do great work" as activists today.
"It's the power of a movement to awaken people who had to a large extent bought into an ideology that you wasn't shit. And now you were a child of God." Looting cases of M-1 rifles from a local plant was a bit empowering too, he admitted. "I saw carloads of liberated goods that the newspapers called stolen goods" being brought back to the community. "This was for me, 13 years old, needing images of strength, community - it was right there." Just as importantly, he said, the community uprising turned him from an indifferent to a constant student in the streets, and later in the prisons. By his junior year of high school he was working in a local Black Pa...

PARIS - The program to oust the Occupy Wall Street movement from its sites of occupation is now underway. The Occupied, who own the police, have grown tired of the Occupation.
The advantage they possess is that the Occupiers have not provided a coherent statement of what they want. Their other advantage is that Americans are not revolutionaries - after all, isn't the American system the best in the world?

Additionally, by undermining the dualism between nature and culture, non-centered ecopolitics risks erasing the crucial distinction that makes environmental philosophy specificaUy "environmental." [...] one of the most important theoretical problems confronting ecopoUtical philosophy today is not that it lacks the proper conceptual tools for critiquing the various mechanisms and dualisms of environmental devastation but that it has neglected the more constructive task of developing a theoretical alternative to them.

The editorial board of the Colorado State University student newspaper last month decided to publish a four-word editorial. Apparently finding the traditional mode of expressing ideas - arguing a case in several hundred words - too demanding, they instead wrote four words: "Taser this: F--- Bush." Only they spelled out the F-word.
The "Taser" referred to the police using a stun gun on a student at the University of Florida who refused to relinquish the microphone to other students at a speech at the university given by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. (How George Bush is connected to the use of a Taser on a left-wing student interrupting a speech by a left-wing anti-Bush senator was never explained by the editor.)

PARIS - Looking backward, there is a great deal to be said for leaving well enough alone, which is more difficult than one might think. Western Europe in the 19th century is now generally looked back upon as having constituted a pinnacle of Western civilization. Certainly in literature, music and the plastic arts this was so, the last-named in the century's final decade, when painting ceased its period as domestic decoration and exploded into myriad ways to perceive not only the external world but the interior universe as well.
The modern Western intelligence was invented then, and the world has since played variations on 19th century political themes: nationalism, colonialism, imperialism, populism, class liberation, revolution, anarchism, class and racial warfare. The Napoleonic wars ...
