It was interesting. I like that he worked with the students during the May /68 uprising, which was illegal to do. The police brutality shocked the nation.
His idea of 'freedom in any circumstance', reminded me of an article by Chris Hedges entitled Sublime Madness. The African people- captured, stolen, and brought here as slaves- have it. The hymn Swing Low Sweet Chariot, was given in a vision to an African man, while he was picking cotton. (I learned that from a Johnny Cash song! :) It got them over the beatings, the dogs, the hoses, the nooses, fires and kidnappings. Mass arrests and total hate and disrespect at every turn.
Now, I know what that life-long 'nausea' I have, is- angst!
I used to hang around on rabble.ca's "babble" until May, 2006, and, since then, I've been found at www.enmasse.ca and www.breadnroses.ca. Even more lately, I've been at EnMasse, but also numerous blogs from the progressive side.
I'm sometimes rude to people and I've been accused of "schoolyard taunts," so, here's my schoolyard.
