Activism


America's first political cartoon, 'Join, Or Die' (1754), by Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

"Everything is wrong."
- Moby (1965- ), from the essay included in his 1995 album Everything Is Wrong

"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses...The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag. I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers..."
- Major General Smedley Butler (1881-1940), from a lecture he delivered in 1933

"First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me."
- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984), circa 1945

The White House symposium entitled "Poetry And The American Voice" has since been indefinitely postponed.
