 The Human Rights movement has lost one of it's shining stars.
 
Tributes to Edward Said.
"But instead, today, we stand at the edge of a great valley that separates humanity (particularly Americans and the Arab/Islamic peoples of the world), cruelly dividing us into ethnic, racial and religious categories whose basis is neither history nor reason, but which, as Said taught us, obdurately betrays both. This gulf is not a natural or inevitable one, but one too often constructed for us by pusillanimous politicians and a media untrained in the art of critical practice. And its effects are to promote and thereby allow our consciences to accept an unacceptable violence of human against human-and the enormous suffering that is its handmaiden-that no just God or morality could countenance, much less sanction."
-George Naggiar, tribute to Edward Said

    • An answer to rhetorical charges of paranoia: Cantwell uses his investigations as an example. His position on AIDS is not one that is agreed with by consumercide.com but respected nonetheless. His arguments against the rhetorical labelling of "paranoia" are certainly useful.
