They want rain without thunder and<br />lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This<br />struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral<br />and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a<br />demand. It never did and it never will." -- Frederick Douglass, African-American abolitionist<br /><br /> The struggle continues, over the powers that be. The struggle for freedom of expression and for the truth. The repressive social systems fear the truth over all other tactics and movements.
