[C. G. Estabrook]

Outrageous. This is what those who are rallying to Obama as the "lesser evil" 
accomplish.

"It is all the more clear what we have to accomplish at present: I am referring 
to ruthless criticism of all that exists, ruthless both in the sense of not 
being afraid of the results it arrives at and in the sense of being just as 
little afraid of conflict with the powers that be."
