You should probably really rethink what you're doing if you're on the board of Street Roots and refuse to recognize the workers union.

Fire to the prisons every last one

matrix made me cry tonight

This whole thread. One of the drums I consistently bang on is the idea that the majority of “civility” requirements is code for “the way we hurt you is polite and therefore allowed and you may not complain; the way you hurt us is rude and boorish and therefore you do not matter.”
