“Cats are oppressed, dogs terrify them, landladies starve them, boys stone them, everybody speaks of them with contempt. If they were human beings we could talk of their oppressors with a studied violence, add our strength to theirs, even organize the oppressed and like good politicians sell our charity for power.” IfsHumansSpeakHuman BeingsBoysViolenceDogPoliticianStonesCatSellsAddCharityContemptOppressedOrganizeOppressorsGood Politicians Book:A Vision: The Revised 1937 Edition: The Collected Works of W.B.

“From a magical point of view, the term 'nonviolence' doesn't work well. Every beginning Witch learns that you can't cast a spell for what you don't want - that the deep aspects of our minds are unclear on the concept of 'no.' If you tell your dog, 'Rover, I can't take you for a walk,' Rover hears 'Walk!' and runs for the door. If we say 'nonviolence,' we are still thinking in terms of violence.” IfsThinkingWantMindWellsStillsI CanRunningTermWalksViewsViolenceDoorsDogConceptsAspectCastsPoint Of ViewWitchSpellsNonviolenceUnclear Author:Starhawk
“Can you understand why the Congress, most states and most cities refuse to pass legislation requiring the registration and licensing of any and all guns? For the life of me, I can't. We must register our cars and be licensed to drive. In many places we must get licenses for dogs and even bicycles. Being required to register firearms and show the competence and capacity to handle them hardly seems unreasonable, hardly seems an infringement of freedom. What is it that blocks such legislation? Why do they block it? How are they able to block it?” I CanStatesShowsSeemsAbleCitiesViolenceDogCarGunCapacityCongressRefuseHandleBlockLegislationLicenseCompetenceBicycleRegisterUnreasonableFirearmsRegistrationLicensingInfringementLicenses Author:Malcolm Forbes
