"What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of
the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The
revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected ...
before a drop of blood was shed." - JOHN ADAMS, letter to Thomas Jefferson, Aug. 24, 1815

"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that
human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can
change the outer aspects of their lives" - William James

"The only ends for which governments are constituted, and
obedience rendered to them, are the obtaining of justice and
protection; and they who cannot provide for both give the people a
right of taking such ways as best please themselves, in order to their
own safety." - - Algernon Sidney - (1622-1683) English statesman, writer, Whig leader

Note To Progressives Who Back a No Fly Zone on Libya
By Joe Emersberger
Iraq alone should have made any progressive support for Western
military intervention in Libya negligible. It is very sad to see that
didn't happen. The corporate media has, again, succeeded in getting
many well intentioned progressives to think within its box. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27754.htm

Stop Arming Dictators
By Medea Benjamin and Charles Davis
Instead of forking over $150 million a day to the weapons industry
to attack Libya or selling $67 billion in weapons to the Saudis so they
can repress not just their own people, but those of Bahrain, we -- the
ones being asked to forgo Social Security to help pay for empire --
should demand those who purport to represent us in Washington stop
arming dictators in our name. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27753.htm
