reading some james boggs this afternoon and struck by this passage from "toward a new concept of citizenship"
"Today as a result of developments over the last two hundred years, the concrete questions we face are completely different from and infinitely more complex than those faced by the men and women who made the first American Revolution."
"But the fundamental decision remains the same — to believe in the inherent power of human beings to begin afresh, to put public good over private interests, and to become active participants in the ideological and practical struggles necessary to rid ourselves..."
"...of an economic and political system that reduces us to subjects so that as active citizens, together, we can create a better society for ourselves and our posterity."
