Hedges writes: "The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, undaunted at 92 and full of the fire that makes him one of this nation's most courageous voices for justice, stands in New York City's Zuccotti Park."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

I'd say Trinity has become the Church of Mammon.
Yeah, really ! How frustrating ! When the Pope (Ratzinger) was growing up in Germany and became a member of a Hitler Youth Group, people said and did what they were damned well *told* ! Buncha uppity Nuns !

Berrigan is speaking about all of us. Wasting our time thinking of merely self and those in our inner circle. Many of us think of doing something to affect humanity and society. We give some money to our favorite causes or Democratic politician. We write our thoughts to each other, the editorial pages, and local and national politicians. We sign on-line petitions. But Berrigan is speaking about shaking the earth. Making the walls tumble down. This takes tremendous courage that few of us have.
Thank God for the Berrigans and writers like Hedges.
We were there to hear the speakers and show common cause. The government was itching to flex its muscles.
Upon getting back to my home town that evening local cops were on high alert and I was struck by baton for simply having long hair as I walked to my car.
The power of the people has to be numbers and peaceful.
Not everyone will catch the reference, but try looking it up on a search engine to see if you can find it.
And that's "Cornell," not "Cornel."
It was well worth it, what an inspiring guy!
"The struggle is in the mind. We must bury our own monsters and stop condemning people. We are all Christ and Hitler. We want Christ to win. We're trying to make Christ's message contemporary. What would he have done if he had advertisements, records, films, TV and newspapers! Christ made miracles to tell his message. Well, the miracle today is communications, so let's use it."-John Lennon
Anarchy is best understood as Rebellion against UNJUST laws.
The Yang/male force of anarchy resists authority and causes disorder and is socially and politically incorrect by the norms of the status quo for it seeks the higher ground of justice.
The Yin/feminine force of anarchy births a new order out of the chaos and chaos is creativity in action.
