Free Love - Emma Goldman

Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere. In freedom it gives itself unreservedly, abundantly, completely. All the laws on the statutes, all the courts in the universe, cannot tear it from the soil, once love has taken root. If, however, the soil is sterile, how can marriage make it bear fruit? It is like the last desperate struggle of fleeting life against death.
(Marriage and Love, Emma Goldman)

@kingnat2 Griselda! Are you still here?

[kingnat2]

@bapyou Maybe if you were a better reader you wouldd've known what I was reffereing to. Don't get your fucking panties in a twist.

[bapyou]

@kingnat2 Who the hell knows what you were referring to? If you were a better writer, perhaps the people reading your posts would UNDERSTAND what you MEANT To say.

Go back to texting, Griselda.

Cheers.

@bapyou You're one dumb fucker. I was referring to someone who asked if she got charged with his murder or conspiring to it. I know she wasn't convicted. And I'm a big Goldman fan. Who's the low-watt dolt now?

[bapyou]

@kingnat2 Emma Goldman was not convicted of McKinley's assassination. Sorry. You don't know your history. Goldman was deported because of her public anti-war activities. J.Edgar Hoover (probably your totalitarian hero) was the person who's job it was to see that Goldman was sent back to Europe. World War I -- like all wars -- was an abomination. US involvement was for the benefit of a few American bankers who would have lost a lot of money had Germany prevailed.

You're a low-watt dolt.

[kingnat2]
