	Direct Action of Jacksonville
		Direct Action is an airsoft team based out of Jax, Fl.
		Although Direct Action is a new team, it is a descendant of ACES (advanced combat of engagement squad), a group of guys in the local area who were formed out of an interest in going beyond paintball into more military similation during the late 1990's.
		In the beginning of 2003 the team had a sudden influx of new players expanding the small team to around 30 members, a decision was made to make some basic changes and try to move the team in a new direction.

	Direct action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Direct action is a form of political activism which seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills, as opposed to indirect actions such as electing representatives who promise to provide remedy at some later date.
		Direct action can include such activities as strikes, boycotts, workplace occupations, sit-ins, intimidation, revolutionary/guerrilla warfare, or sabotage, and less oppositional methods such as establishing radical social centres, which are often squatted.
		Direct actions are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience, and are sometimes illegal.

	Direct Action by Voltairine De Cleyre
		Direct action may be the extreme of violence, or it may be as peaceful as the waters of the Brook of Shiloa that go softly.
		Among the various expressions of direct rebellion was the organization of the "underground railroad." Most of the people who belonged to it believed in both sorts of action; but however much they theoretically subscribed to the right of the majority to enact and enforce laws, they didn't believe in it on that point.
		Direct action is always the clamorer, the initiator, through which the great sum of indifferentists become aware that oppression is getting intolerable.

	Anarchist Politics & Direct Action by Rob Sparrow
		However, industrial action which is undertaken merely as a tactic as part of negotiations to win wage or other concessions from an employer is not an example of direct action.
		Direct action of this sort, because it is self-directed rather than a response to the activities of capital or state, offers far more opportunities for continuing action and also for success.
		Actions which involve a high risk of police beating or of arrest with consequent heavy fines or imprisonment may reduce the willingness or capacity of those affected to engage in further political activities, if any of these things occur.

	J.2 What is direct action? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Direct action is the means of creating a new consciousness, a means of self-liberation from the chains placed around our minds, emotions and spirits by hierarchy and oppression.
		Because direct action is the expression of liberty, the powers that be are vitally concerned only when the oppressed use direct action to win its demands, for it is a method which is not easy or cheap to combat.

	Marxism and direct action
		There can be no greater direct action than the seizing of control over our own lives by the vast majority of society.
		To brag of a lack of direction, a lack of purpose and a lack of coherence, in the face of such a highly organised and brutal enemy as international capital, is surely the height of irresponsibility.

		The film has a good sense of pacing, never letting up enough for the action to stop and plot itself is fine for the type of movie.

	Voltairine de Cleyre - Direct Action
		— to such a one it appears matter for regret and confusion of spirit that the phrase “Direct Action” has suddenly acquired in the general mind a circumscribed meaning, not at all implied in the words themselves, and certainly never attached to it by himself or his co-thinkers.
		As to what the politicians did, it is one long record of “how-not-to-do-it,” a record of thirty years of compromising, and dickering, and trying to keep what was as it was, and to hand sops to both sides when new conditions demanded that something be done, or be pretended to be done.
		Well, I have already stated that some good is occasionally accomplished by political action — not necessarily working-class party action either.

	DIRECT ACTION
		Although fully aware that his “tube direct box” was a new and wonderful-sounding invention, Demeter thought no one would give a hoot, so he failed to copyright the product category name.
		In addition, it lets you record direct to tape (or hard drive), thus bypassing the mic and guitar-amp stage of the chain.
