"If I learned anything from the 60's ...."

What I learned from the 60's was never concede any argument, anytime, any place. Not in the streets, not on campus, not in the classrooms, not in the news media. No compromise, no conciliation with evil.

If they take to the streets, *we* must take to the streets, and in greater numbers and more militant attitudes. If they try to use our schools as propaganda outlets, we must stand up in class and object, stand up at the alumni meetings, at the school board meetings and in the legislative chambers and object. If they write columns in the newspapers, we write letters to the editor, or even found our own newspapers.

Above all we must get involved in the politcal process: vote, work for candidates of our persuasions, run for office ourselves, if need be. The last Presidential race was decided by a razor's edge thin margin, but there were more than enough people who didn't bother to vote to have turned it into a landslide for either side, for the candidate who could have mobilized them, motivated them just enough to get out and go down to the polling places. Local races are often decided by a plurality of the minority of voters who bother to turn out.

It is up to us.

***No compromise. No concilliation with evil.***

One must come out shooting and take no prisoners. When we agreed to debate over America, we lost it.

When you speak the truth about a matter even today the politico-racial names start flying. They tell me that saying and doing the right thing never was popular....
