The battle...has to begin here. In America. The only institution more powerful than the U.S. government is American civil society. The rest of us are subjects of slave nations. We are by no means powerless, but you have the power of proximity. You have access to the Imperial Palace and the Emperor's chambers. Empire's conquests are being carried out in your name.

While in India we talked about Karola. It is the place to the west of Tamil Nadu that is a matriarchal/marxist society. That is where A. Roy was born and raised. I wonder if Cory will pick up more of her brilliance while there.
