A curse on the judges, the coppers and screws | Who tortured the
innocent, the wrongly accused, | For the price of promotion | And justice
to sell | May the judged be their judges when they rot down in hell

Subject: The Problem ....

From: "Fred J. Lang" <ui367@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


        "The problem isn't a shortage of ideas on how to create a just
and decent society and economy; the problem is a lack of power to force
corporations and government to adopt ideas that benefit the poor, the
workers and the disenfranchised.

        Corporations and their allies in government have a fundamentally
different view of what the world should look like, and if we don't get
power, their view will win.

        We'll never have power again if we don't organize millions of
workers throughout North America. We won't have power at the bargaining
table, in our communities and in the political world if we're a movement
in decline.

        Our job is to figure our how to get power, lead the movement to
reclaim our economies and overcome corporate domination. To do anything
else is to collaboratge in our own distruction, to commit suicide."
