    " I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence... I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour. " -- Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) (as quoted by Ken O'Keefe )

    I'm grateful to and highly respect people who were -or risked being- jailed (or worse) because of their commitment to humanitarian values; i think we owe them a lot.

    I value freedom.

    We have a proverb here that (roughly) translates to: When injustice becomes law, opposing (these laws) becomes a duty.

    And (as i had worked out myself and happened to read yesterday:) "you feel better when you're doing what you feel is right - no matter how hard it is." (R.Clark in DJ's R.A.E.)

  • I like when he talks about all the mother animals he's been attacked by. Indeed, any who thinks love implies pacifism should try taking a baby bear cub away from his or her mother.

  • I want this video on my OT View db unit.

  • This vid went viral on Niger

  • Anthropocentric?

    Derrick Jensen is Deep ecologist environmentalist.

    You've made a mistake he is more biocentric than anthropocentric because anthropocentric doesn't care for the environment nor animals.

  • @wda013 I'm no coward, but I'm no lawbreaker, either. You act outside the law, you go to jail. I don't know about you, but I value my freedom. And only if you want to get shot to death should you resist arrest.
