“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

A Friend Writes

A friend here writes about an editorial in today's Davis Enterprise:

there is a a good editorial in today's Enterprise on policing in the wake of 9/11—one does not have to think much further to get to drones in Pakistan and Afghanistan and, I suppose, now everywhere.  But fixating on the Chancellor has not made it easier to think beyond the white folks. An opportunity missed indeed—a bit like 9/11 itself.
