LINES OF THE DAY
". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15
". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153
Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History (1995) by Michel-Rolph Trouillot

I love reading Fisk. he has a sense of history in his writings that is quite rare.
Very informative. Thank you.
I really like Obama but, in truth, he is still a mainstream politician. No one even close to being as radical as I would like has any chance whatsoever. I've been trying to figure out how to handle that since the time I voted for Nader! One could vote for McKinney this time around, but, of course, she can't win, and that might just help McCain
Obama is another corporatist, no doubt.
I prefer though his voice in my ears for the next 4 years than that ugly mean-tempered ignorant old guy.
Love, C.
