Really enjoyed the definitions of power and non-violence. I don't often think of the link between the permissive power displayed and the goading of violent power usage as similarly violent, but there you go.

Damn. Dylan's getting on the Breadtube train. I'm about this. Great video. The first time I heard Strange Fruit was Jeff Buckley's cover on Live at Siné. It hard 12 years ago when I heard it. It still hits hard now.

I have always believed that all races are naturally biased towards their own race, and that the percentage of a particular race in society determines who has a larger slice of the rights pie.
