  • Watch the Parking Meters | n+1: 'Most people in the US do not need Rudd's regrets to know that the Weathermen were often worse than useless, that the history of the New Left and the larger antiwar movement (the most hated political entity at the time) is not rosy in the least. Yet this casual dismissal has been repeatedly countered by the nation's unconscious in recent years, suggesting a pervasive inability to disregard and to forget. Rudd's own memoir received a sizable number of spiteful reviews, by authors who wondered what young person left in Obama's America still believed that politics lay in a thrown brick or a ticking bomb.'

Are we better off or worse off in terms of a culture of consumerism? I think we?re much worse off than 45 years ago. Again, we?ve all drunk the kool-aid. The way you know how you?re doing is you buy more shit. You go look in the basement of any middle-class person who owns a home and you?re horrified. What are they doing with all that shit? At the same time, we?re in the world of yes we can. That begs the question of yes we can what?

  • weather underground: Hello, I'm going to read a declaration of a state of war...within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice.&quo t; ~ Bernardine Dohrn Thirty years ago, with those words, a group of young American radicals announced their intention to overthrow the U.S. government. former Underground members, including Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert and Brian Flanagan, speak publicly about the idealistic passion that drove them to "bring the war home" and the trajectory that placed them on the FBI's most wanted list. Fueled by outrage over racism and the Vietnam War, the Weather Underground waged a low-level war against the U.S. government through much of the 1970s--bombing targets across the country that they considered emblematic of the real violence that the U.S. was wreaking throughout the world. group's carefully organized clandestine network managed to successfully evade one of the largest manhunts in FBI history
