Stephen Slevin was never convicted of a crime. But for two years, he languished in a New Mexico jail cell, going month after month without showers or outdoor recreation or human contact.

(via a-petro-manifesto)
"Government is in its essence always a force acting in violation of justice, and it cannot be otherwise. Justice can have no binding force on a ruler or rulers who keep men deluded and drilled in readiness for acts of violence, and by means of them control others. And so governments can never be brought to consent to diminish the number of these drilled slaves, who constitute their whole power and importance."

It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises. - Chief Joseph, Nez Perce Tribe.
