As regular readers of this blog are aware, I am a Wobbly organizer, currently organizing the Ottawa Panhandlers' Union. I haven't been posting much to this blog lately because there's a real struggle on the streets these days; we've had to institute a Cop Watch program just to keep the police from openly breaking the law. To give you some idea of the sort of hatred and hostility we're encountering, here's a picture of a poster which has been appearing around Ottawa. Yes, that's me with a gun in my mouth. And that's our mayor in the background, grinning.

Thought for the Day:

"True, we have got into the habit of admiring colossal bandits, whose opulence is revered by the entire world, yet whose existence, once we stop to examine it, proves to be one long crime repeated ad infinitum, but those same bandits are heaped with glory, honors, and power, their crimes are hallowed by the law of the land, whereas, as far back in history as the eye can see -- and history, as you know, is my business -- everything conspires to show that a venial theft, especially of inglorious foodstuffs, such as bread crusts, ham, or cheese, unfailingly subjects its perpetrator to irreparable opprobium, the automatic dishonor, and inexpiable shame, and this for two reasons, first because the perpetrator of such an offense is usually poor, which in itself connotes basic unworthiness, and secondly because his act implies, as it were, a tacit reproach to the community." -- Louis-Ferdinand Celine

In the aftermath of the N'Yawk City steam explosion, we can see a street full of cast-off women's foot bondage, they having realized that stiletto heels are not useful for running away in panic from the terr'ists.

Thought for the Day:

"Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps. A revolution in consciousness is an empty high without a revolution in the distribution of power. We are not interested in the greening of Amerika except for the grass that will cover its grave." -- Abbie Hoffman

Thought for the Day:

"They [the Marxists] maintain that only a dictatorship --- their dictatorship, of course --- can create the will of the people, while our answer to this is: No dictatorship can have any other aim but that of self-perpetuation, and it can beget only slavery in the people tolerating it; freedom can be created only by freedom, that is, by a universal rebellion on the part of the people and free organization of the toiling masses from the bottom up." -- Mikhail Bakunin

Thought for the Day:

"Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats. Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust funds wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac wasn't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything." -- Cho Seung-Hui
