Politicos scare me to death

Frances Moore Lappé on generating political energy with 'good news'

FML is a vegetarian crank and has been all her life.

Having failed to persuade any significant number of people to live as she would like, she aspires like all good political activists to use the power of the state to force people into line.

She is, in short, a public enemy.

And she wrote a book to cheer up and cheer on others of her ilk.

Per this post at KOS, it’s called “EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want.”

The wildly anti-democratic, authoritarian, and even totalitarian impulses of full-time, life-long activists put them in company with Islamofundies who want to subject the whole world to Allah, with old-fashioned trots, anarchists, and commie types who, like Carlos in Paris, think of themselves as “professional revolutionaries.”

If people like that don’t scare you, they should.

They are way too interested in making the whole world dance to their tunes – by shooting at feet, if need be, and in their eyes there is always need.
