Our dream of safety has to disappear.”

can give, you’re an employee.

Both wishes are foolish,
but you’ll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love’s confusing joy.”

Ten commandments of activism

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 11:42:44 +0200

Do unto others before they have a chance to do unto you
If something you do is ineffective, stop doing it
When you lose your temper, make sure it is well-planned
Be truthful and honest at all times, but know when to keep your mouth
shut
Covet thy neighbour’s vote, unless it is quite obvious you will never
get it
Plan to change the world, but be happy with changing a single opinion
Be creative and never miss a free kick
Honour the media, even if it makes you gag
Be controversial, but watch the legals
Lighten up and have fun

Saul Alinsky
