Protest around the world 2014

there was four pieces of candy left when a hoard of ten kids ascended on our front door; in desperation I ran to filch from my mother's candy stash

now six random kids in my neighborhood have Lindt Lindor Truffles in their trick or treat bags....

Will you deny that your jails are filled with the children of the poor, not the children of the rich? Will you deny that men steal because their bellies are empty? Will you dare to state that any of those lost sisters you speak of enjoy going to bed with ten and twenty miserable men in one night and having their insides burn like they were branded? I will not rise to your reform bait. This is your society judge Atgeld; you helped to create it, and it is this society that makes the criminal… And if the workers unite to fight for food, you jail them too… No, so long as you preserve this system and its ethics, your jails will be full of men and women who choose life to death, and who take life as you force them to take it, through crime.

Lucy Parsons

She shouted this at the Governer of Illinois, John Altgeld, at a forum, while the upper class attendees booed and hissed at her. This was sometime during the 1890’s.

So physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted from this week but it’s not over. The protests aren’t over, the conversations aren’t over, the fight isn’t over.
