The Shadow Shifts, the Light Lifts
AFTER BRADLEY ROLAND WILL WAS SHOT and killed, I have had a lot of feelings. Not that watching the events in Oaxaca haven't given me feelings anyway. They've given me more feelings and thoughts than I've noted here by far. And even in the posts I have written, my... $MTEntryExcerpt$>

La Pluma Awaits.
COME ON! Stats tell me that almost 700 people have clicked on my nifty little guestbook? And only three people have had the courtesy to sign? That's a seriously discouraging ratio.

Crush the Spirit While They're Young
THE PURPOSE OF POLICE TERROR TACTICS on unsuspecting students is not to do anything but to inculcate them with a bedrock-deep fear of the police and by association, any government authority.
