"I am aware that many object to the severity of my language;
but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth,
and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not
wish to think, or speak, or write with moderation. No! No!
Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm;
tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the
ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from
the fire into which it has fallen; but urge me not to use
moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest--I
will not equivocate--I will not excuse. I will not retreat a single
inch--and I will be heard."
(William Lloyd Garrison, Abolitionist, on Slavery, 1831)

Thanks to John R. for posting this. If it is happening in
England, can the US be far behind? Metcalf, the resigning
congressman from the State of Washington who the Sea
Shephard Consevation Society and several other anti-Makah
ARA groups align themselves with, had/has a father who was
a member of the Silver Shirts, a facist organization. His
own record, with the exception of the Makah whaling issue,
is anti-ARA. His record regarding treaty rights is
notoriously anti- Indian. He has been described as being
worse than Slade Gordon. I would submit that the connection
between the far right, and ARAs is alive and well in the
US.
