[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Ad Council creates pro-liberty advertisements

[Ricky Baldwin]

This is precisely why we do not need to be shy about our plans for 9/11.  I 
agree that we should express sadness, and generally conduct ourselves as 
sincere human beings.  But to back away now as so many groups did a year ago 
would be to acquiesce (again) to the bloody policies that are killing our 
brothers and sisters around the world, and depriving us of our hard-won 
liberties.  It is hard, but it is necessary.  We have a good crew.  We can 
do this.

>>Of course, as many of you know, the U.S. government would like to see this

>>annoying habit of monitoring and controlling the surfing habits of patrons
>>at library terminals.

>>I looked at another PSA, "Arrest," which shows some guy being pulled over
>>by the police and then being arrested for having the wrong reading
>>material. Fact it, activists and other people have routinely been detained
>>at airports for having the wrong reading material. Having radical books in
>>your car has frequently been a pretext for arrest and, at the least,
>>harassment.

>>Don't get me started about what happens to Americans who commit
>>intellectual property "thoughtcrimes" against corporations.

“What we want … is the complete destruction of the domination and 
exploitation of man by man; we want men united as brothers by a consensus 
and desired solidarity, all cooperating voluntarily for the well-being of 
all; we want society to be constituted for the purpose of supplying 
everybody with the means for achieving the maximum well-being, the maximum 
possible moral and spiritual development; we want bread, freedom, love and 
science – for everybody.”  - Errico Malatesta
