In the case of one individual today on whom I would waste no time if I did not believe he could be salvaged, his steadfast refusal to deny knowledge and adhere to bigotry in the face of clear American history gives a lesson which is not yet clear but is definitely the problem. People are so terrified they cling to phony solutions and, as always, fear is the mindkiller.
Unbelievable as it may seem, we became the adults so how would you teach the children when they steadfastly refuse to learn and instead adhere to hatefulness and blind bigotry. That's today's class exercise as I've reviewed quite a bit regarding SDS and the Weathermen and I'm clear they were playing into the government's hands.

We can't be screaming, waving our hands, or blowing shit up. It's on us all to find an answer to that but make no mistake of the fear in the people who cling to the bigotry. They deny it and act like they're tough guys but it's only a pose. You can see that with any kid when they tell you they are not afraid.
