Tell all the truth but tell it slant-
Success in the circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm delight
The truth's superb surprise
As Lighting to the children eased
with explanation kind
The truth must dazzle gradually
or every man be blind
--Dickenson

This is about the mothers of Invention. We Have watched them grow, and with their growth, we hopefully have grown. Their honesty has offended some and been provacative to many, but in any case their perfomances have had a real effect on their audiences
The Mothers' music is very new, and as their music is new, so is the intention of their music. As much as the Mothers put into their music, we must bring to it. The Mothers, and what they represent as a group has attracted all of the outcasts, the pariahs, the people who are angry and afraid and contemptuous of the exsisting social structure. The danger lies in the "freak out" becoming an excuse instead of a reason. An Excuse implies an end, a reason a beginning being that the easiest was is consistently more attractive than the harder way the essential thing that makes the "freak out" audiences different constitutes their sameness. a freak is not a freak is all are freaks. "freaking out" should presuppose an active freedom. freedom meaning a liberation from the control of some other person of persons. Unfortunately reaction seems to have taken place of action. we SHOULD be as satisfied listening to the mothers perfom from concert stage if we could channel the energy expended in "freaking out" physically into "freakibg out" intellectually, we might possibly be able to create something concrete out of the ideological twillight of bizarre costumes and being seen being bizzare. Do we really listen? and if we really listen do we really think? freedom of thought conversely brings an awesome responsibility looking and acting eccentric IS NOT ENOUGH.
a mad tea-party is valid only as satire, commenting ironically and ending in its beginning, in that it is only a trick of interpretation. It is not creation and it IS NOT ENOUGH.
what WE must try to do then is not only comment satirically on what's wrong but try to CHANGE what's wrong the mothers are trying

The crisis in Darfur, in western Sudan, has led to some of the worst human rights abuses imaginable, including systematic and widespread murder, rape, abduction and forced displacement. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have died as a result of both deliberate and indiscriminate attacks, and more than 2 million civilians have been forced to flee from their homes. The situation on the ground has been plagued with renewed violence, Janjawid attacks, and aerial bombing by the Government of Sudan's military. Currently, the Government of Sudan is resisting the UN Security Council-mandated peacekeeping operation that is desperately needed.Amnesty representatives have met with UN, U.S. and European officials to call for their vigorous action and have pressed the governments of Chad and Sudan directly. Amnesty's global membership has also organized letter-writing campaigns and demonstrations to draw attention to the crisis.The international community must, at long last, put a stop to these atrocities and bring relief to those who have survived but continue to suffer. Join the growing movement of citizens worldwide who are taking action for Darfur.
