"So with food, life. In elementary school my 5th grade teacher told us about our country, how we were the great giant-killers, first expelling the Brits, chinking the armor of the greatest empire of them all...And who (I grew-up up North) abolished slavery, an empire of chains and whips? We did, of course. We’ve been told all our lives that empire is bad, just like red meat. But the craving just won’t go away. We know it's bad for us, but hell, we like it." [more]

"The [Bush] administration has engaged in political screening of appointees to peer review study sections that are charged with evaluating the scientific merits of research proposals ... these activities go to the very heart of scientific independence. There is now mounting evidence of systematic attempts to infiltrate political opinion into scientific deliberation." [more]
"Remember, fascism and a police state doesn't come all at once, it comes piece by piece. How far will we allow it go until we are all locked up in concentration camps? If we don't take matters into our own hands and do something about this now, then we are already prisoners of war." [more]

"Horizontalism is not an ideology, however, it is a relationship — a way of relating to one another in a directly democratic way while at the same time creating through the process of discovery. What has resulted is the creation of an amazing complex of movements, all linked." [more] |
This website is a tribute to Why War?, one of the nation's first and most innovative post-9/11 student antiwar organizations. Born on October 22, 2001 at Swarthmore College, we were a handful of freshmen and sophmores who vocally opposed the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. And now, seven years later, we are retiring this website as we focus our efforts on new directions. We hope that it continues to serve future activists and we remain confident that humanity is on the verge birthing a better world.
