I believe there are people who need you and likewise. These are the people that support and push you to be strong and to succeed and accomplish the goals you set out for yourself. Your life can only be fullfilling with these kind of people in it. I believe good friends (or good people) are like rare jewels, difficult to find and impossible to replace.
Ideally I would like to get acquinted with people who
possess
depth, common sense and intelligence and in addition are ethical, moral, politically / socially aware peoples.
Surely there exists those who are uniquely intelligent and aware enough to hold disdain towards this unjust system, and aspire to be more than good workers, blind homogenous consumers and apathetic automatons. Unapologetically I feel no pity for these blind letches for they are the mass that re-invent this corrupt system and the byproduct that feed the priviledged elite. I hold disdain for middle class america only because i realize this shithole of pasteurized conformism and mediocrity is not where change will take place, nor will these people desire change but only champion those who provide them with the intoxicants that keep them blissfully ignorant, souless and sterile of integrity, intelligence or life. Obviously when faced with such on a daily reproductive basis,people who feel it is their right to live life on their own terms and wish to have healthy experiences with others and reaffirm positives are harder and harder to come by. I would like to meet Individuals who reject a hierarchical society that divides people by wealth, color, creed and sex and live life based upon their own morals, people who struggle against this system and dream of equality and freedom for all people, not just for themselves or their own social "stability". People who reject the sterile everyday reality of despair and alienation bred by a sick society and seek to improve the quality of their own life and those of all things to the best they can. Yes, I do believe there are People who actually possess dignity and value their own life and the lives of others. Regardless of my optimism and faith, I am aware these people are endangered in our Society.Thusly
I firmly believe in treating myself and others with respect and consideration and living a life based upon such ethics. Sometimes just doing that seems difficult enough, but I believe in myself regardless and choose to live life based upon my own descisions, no one else's, you feel me?

"Everyone's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: Stop participating in it."

-----------------------------------------------"Rich men have no right to their property, for they are not rich because they work a lot but because a lot of people work for them; and poor men have a right to rich men's property, for they are poor not because they work little but because they work for others. Indeed poor people almost always work long hours at duller jobs in worse conditions than rich people. No one ever became rich or remained rich through his own labour, only by exploiting the labour of others."
-- Nicholas Walter, About Anarchism---------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------"Freedom is what we make of it. If we stand against repression, authority and illegitimate structures, we are expanding the domain of freedom and that's what freedom will be. That's what we create; there is nothing to define in words."
-- Noam Chomsky-----------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom."– Malcom X-----------------------------------------------------------

To the fervent proponents of ruthless corporate capitalism I say: make a millionaire CEO live as a poor sweatshop worker in Indonesia for one month and then ask him about the merits of the world economic system.

PATRIOT, n. A dangerous tool of the powers that be. A herd member who compensates for lack of self-respect by indentifying with an abstraction. An enemy of individual freedom. A fancier of the rich, satisfying flavor of boot leather.-- from The American Heretic's Dictionary edited by Chaz Bufe (See Sharp Press)------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------"Why is it that our society continues to pour investment into punishing humans for crimes, instead of investin in educating to prevent crimes and/or pinpoint what causes these crimes in the first place? The ACA (American Correctional Association) is the pinnacle of our social disease, and as humans we need to confront this disease with a grassroots community decision making body of voices. The government has made it clear that they aren't invested in our concerns and are only making it extremely easy for profit-hungry corporations to benefit from incarceration. Every prisoner is a political prisoner."* Floyd Peterson, Anarchist Black Cross-------------------------------------------------------

--------------------"I advocate revolutionary changes...an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty"-- Assata Shakur------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------"Only through their own struggle for liberation will ordinary people come to comprehend their true nature, suppressed and distorted within institutional structures designed to assure obedience and subordination. Only in this way will people develop more humane ethical standards, 'a new sense of right', 'the consciousness of their strength and their importance as a social factor in the life of their time' and their capacity to realise the strivings of their 'inmost nature.' Such direct engagement in the work of social reconstruction is a prerequisite for coming to perceive this 'inmost nature' and is the indispensable foundations upon which it can flourish"-- Noam Chomsky

--------------------"Government cannot exist without the tacit consent of the populace. This consent is maintained by keeping people in ignorance of their real power. Voting is not an expression of power, but an admission of powerlessness, since it cannot do otherwise than reaffirm the governmnet's supposed legitimacy."-- Fred Woodworth, Anarchism---------------------------------------------------

--------------------"The State is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of human behavior; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by behaving differently."--— Gustav Landauer----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Anarchists are opposed to violence...The main plank of anarchism is the removal of violence from human relations. It is life based on the freedom of the individual, without the intervention of the police. For this reason we are enemies of capitalism, which depends on the protection of the police to force workers to allow themsleves to be exploited...We are therefore enemies of the State, which is the coercive, violent organization of society.-- Errico Malatesta, Umanita Nova, August, 25, 1921--------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------"The strongest bulwark of the capitalist system is the ignorance of its victims." -- Adolf Fischer-----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------"The whole history of progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle there is no progress.Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted. . ."
-- Frederick Douglass (1857)------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------"I am a free prince and have as much authority to make war on the whole world as he who has a hundred sail of ships and an army of a hundred thousand men in the field. And this my conscience tells me; that there is no arguing with such sniveling puppies who allow superiors to kick them about the deck at pleasure, and pin their faith upon the pimp of a parson, a squab who neither practices nor believes what he puts upon the chuckle-headed fools he preaches to."
