In Activate! this paragraph hits home:

In these times, when we face challenges never before seen, and the machine sprawls out ever farther, remember the blessings you have now, right before you. Take them in and hold them close, make them part of you. For if you leave them outside you they will most surely be snatched away. Make taking your rights and liberties away like amputating a limb…make it hurt, and make 'em work for it if they want it so bad.

They have had it way too easy so far in taking away our rights, our lives and our money. That needs to change.

Will be taking a look around the 'zine. Thanks.
