Wait, HOW Many Innocent People Does Our Government Say Are Being Held At Guantanamo??

I'd like to meet:

People who want to do more to change the world than just sit around and talk about it. There's too many philosophers out there and not enough activists. We're seeking TRUE revolutionaries, anybody who disagrees with the various systems of oppression and wants to take real action to make the world a better place. No racists, no sexists, no facists.
