In the final analysis it doesn't really matter what the political system is...We don't need perfect political systems; we need perfect participation.

It is not good enough to know why we are oppressed and by whom. We must join the struggle for what is right and just. Jesus does not promise that it will be an easy way to live life and His own life certainly points in a hard direction; but it does promise that we will be "satisfied" (not stuffed; but satisfied). He promises that by giving life we will find life - full, meaningful life as God meant it.

We are suffering. We have suffered. And we are not afraid to suffer in order to win our cause.

We do not need to kill or destroy to win. We are a movement that builds and not destroys.

When a man or woman, young, or old, takes a place on the picket line for even a day or two, he will never be the same again.

There is no substitute for hard work, 23 or 24 hours a day. And there is no substitute for patience and acceptance.

We know we cannot defend to be kind to animals until we stop exploiting them - exploiting animals in the name of science, exploiting animals in the name of sport, exploiting animals in the name of fashion, and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.
