I Don't Think Of Myself As A

I Was Involved In The Anti-war Movement.

The Responsibility For The Risks We Posed To Others In Some Of Our Most Extreme Actions In Those Underground Years Never Leaves My Thoughts For Long. The Antiwar Movement In All Its Commitment, All Its Sacrifice And Determination, Could Not Stop The Violence Unleashed Against Vietnam. And Therein Lies Cause For Real Regret.

Dunbar-ortiz Strips Us Of Our Forged Innocence, Shocks Us Into New Awareness, And Draws A Straight Line From The Sins Of Our Fathers-settler-colonialism, The Doctrine Of Discovery, The Myth Of Manifest Destiny, White Supremacy, Theft And Systematic Killing-to The Contemporary Condition Of Permanent War, Invasion And Occupation, Mass Incarceration, And The Constant Use And Threat Of State Violence.

I'm Anti-establishment. So All The Labels, The Reason That I Keep Joking And Rejecting This Idea That I'm Liberal, Well Partly That's Because I Think Of Myself As A Radical, And By That I Mean, Not Even In The Terms Of Left-right That You Might Imagine - But Someone Who Wants To Go To The Root Of Problems.

I Went Underground. So I Didn't See [my Father] For 11 Years. So That Was Pretty Traumatic Time For My Parents For Sure.
