"(Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the Establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another.) Obscene is not the picture of a naked woman who exposes her pubic hair, but that of a fully clad general who exposes his medals rewarded in a war of aggression; obscene is not the ritual of the Hippies but the declaration of a high dignitary of the Church that war is necessary for peace...[This] sociological and political vocabulary must be radically reshaped [to become a] political weapon, an effective force which drives which drives people to burn their draft cards, to ridicule national leaders, to demonstrate in the streets and to unfold signs saying, "Thou shalt not kill" in the nation's churches." -Herbert Marcuse ............................................................ ............................................................ ............................................................ ........................................... "Okay guys, one more thing, this summer when you're being inundated with all this American bicentennial Fourth Of July brouhaha, don't forget what you're celebrating, and that's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes."..
