"Despite disparate claims and personnel of its constituent members the underground are agreed on basic objectives. We intend to march on the police machine everywhere. We intend to destroy the police machine and all its records. We intend to destroy all dogmatic verbal systems. The family unit and its cancerous expansion into tribes, countries, nations; we will eradicate it at its vegetable roots. We don't want to hear anymore family talk, mother talk, father talk, cop talk, priest talk, country talk or party talk. To put it country simple we have had enough bullshit." -William Seward Burroughs

No nation can preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. - James Madison
