 monumental mistake :: random thoughts on life and politics from an anarchist living in the capital of Empire
One of the critical mistakes we made was to cut back and stop doing protests and direct action after 9/11.
I’m always tickled to find a snippet of radical history on the net that involves me–we really ought to work more on getting the story of our radical history up on the Internet.
We need to stop making excuses, stop the sectarian navel-gazing, and get out there in the public eye.

 Article originally published as: Dru C
The Muslim protests moved from the Nationalities College, to the Mosque (which is also the site of the Chinese Islamic Association), and finally to Tiananmen Square.
  The Muslims, as members of a state-recognized, and to a certain degree, state-invented, category of nationality, an official minzu, and believers in a state-approved religion, an accepted zongjiao, could make claims on the state that others were denied.
The slogans shouted during the Muslim protests reported in the Chinese press included: "Uphold the Constitution!" "Uphold the Party's Nationality and Religion Policies!"   "Oppose Blasphemy Against Islam!" "Ban the Book Sexual Customs !"    The government did all this and more.

 Cannabis To Be Reclassified
Reclassifying cannabis - or hash, as it is also known - was first recommended by a Police Foundation report last year, after more than 30 years of lobbying and protests from the general public.
Class C puts it in the same category as anti-depressants and steroids - but LSD and ecstasy will remain class A drugs, Mr Blunkett said.
If cannabis is re-graded as Class C, the maximum sentence for possession would be two years in crown courts or three months in magistrates courts.

The loser is all-news WTOP (1500 AM/107.7 FM), which spiked to first place in the spring in both categories (fueled by heavy news interest generated by the war in Iraq) but fell to No. 6 in the adult listener category and No. 2 in the morning.

 obc reservation
While there were periodic agitations for and against implementation of the Mandal report after 1981, now the decision of the National Front Government has sparked off widespread student protests against it in different States.
Therefore, where the caste status contributes to the backwardness of communities under the OBC category, and where anti-caste movements have not been able to cut across caste barriers and build powerful class-based mass organisations, there is a justification for providing reservations to such communities.
Further, merit, as the Mandal Commission and a host of other commissions and Supreme Court judgements have pointed out, must be seen in the context of achieving real equality of opportunities, social environment and compensatory discrimination to ensure social justice.

 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Penthouse
Penthouse's constant legal battles throughout the 1980s and 1990s cost it millions of dollars in annual litigation fees, but the magazine had another, more threatening problem: videocassette distributors, who now boasted that some ten percent of their sales were in the category of erotica.
In contrast, less than 100 picketers showed up for the American Family Association's planned protests.
In 1992, Penthouse faced yet another challenge from the United States Navy, which found the distribution and sale of adult magazines on naval bases to be inconsistent with rules and regulations concerning sexual harassment and human dignity.

 Rantburg Article
Mohammad Reza Khatami, reformist party leader and brother of the president, described such hardline groups as "rogues", lumping them into the same category as protestors who have chanted insulting slogans at regime leaders.
But the authorities appear to have been quick to realise that rather than dampening student resolve, the hardliners were only making the task of containing the protests even harder.
On Saturday, after a vicious assault on a Tehran university dormitory, police detained several members of the extremist grouplet Dakhmeh (the Cave), including their leader Said Asghar — convicted but released well before his jail term was up for attempting to assasinate a close aide to reformist President Mohammad Khatami in 2000.
