Re: Say what? (was Re: The revolution in Nepal has reached a critical moment)

 I'M NOT A FAN OF BOB AVAKIAN,,,,and he's certainly not a personal father
figure to me, seeing as I have never met the man. I was speaking of my
friend Wythe (a personal friend and father figure to me). I had forwarded
an article that he had posted to another list SEVERAL months ago
(possibly even one year ago) regarding the problem of declining union
membership in N. America. When you disagreed with what the ARTICLE (not
Wythe) had to say, you attacked my friend (not the article's author), and
accused him of probably never doing anything to truly help further the
cause of the labour struggle. When I went to my friends defense, the only
intelligent words that you could bark out in response were "blow me". I
guess that since then I've held a grudge against you.

 The man that you attacked is literally as close to me, as most peoples
biological father would be to them.
What upset me the most, was that when I began defending my friend, by
telling the group about what work my friend had done and was presently
doing (contrary to your fiction-based-ignorance=filled-accusations), to
help promote our cause...that you didn't even have enough humility or
human decency to apologize for jumping the gun on a bad day and
maliciously attacking a comrade...... Your only response was "blow me".

 I'm big enough to apologize for holding a grudge against you for a
ridiculous amount of time (which has caused me to become closed minded
and bitter toward everything that you say)....lets see if you have enough
heart to apologize for verbally attacking a man (a man who's on par with
being a father to me) thats probably done more for the cause than both of
us put together have even thought of doing. Lets clear this up, and make
up. Debating is cool, but lets save the attacking for the right crowd...I
don't wanna be shooting at comrades.....but I damn sure won't let close
friends of mine get maliciously accused and attacked, without jumping to

Pramoedya Ananta Toer dies

Writer Pramoedya, Indonesia's Camus, dies+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)JAKARTA, April 30_(Kyodo)

Prominent writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer, dubbed Indonesia's Albert Camus, was buried at a Jakarta
cemetery Sunday afternoon, attended by family members, close friends and admirers of his works.

Pramoedya died a few hours earlier at 81 after suffering from diabetes and other health problems.

Daughter Tatiana told Kyodo News her father died at 8:55 a.m. He had been receiving treatment at St. Carolus
Catholic Hospital in Jakarta for three days before asking to go home Saturday afternoon.

"He died peacefully with his children, best friends and journalists who knew him personally at his side,"
she said. "He was a man with great dedication, not only for the world of literature, but also for the country
he deeply loved."

Pramoedya died while in the process of completing an encyclopedia, a last work that had kept his spirit
strong during his prolonged illness.

The eldest of nine children of a school teacher in Blora, a town on the northern coast of Central Java,
Pramoedya fled to Jakarta when Japanese troops marched into the town during World War II.

When the nationalists declared independence in 1945, he joined the People's Militia to fight the Dutch,
but was caught in a police sweep and spent most of the next two years in Bukit Duri, a Dutch prison camp.

It was during this first prison stint that he wrote his early novel "Perburuan" (the Fugitive), the story of
24 hours in the life of a guerrilla fighting the Japanese.

Pramoedya's books were banned by the Suharto regime, which believed him to be involved with the People's
Cultural Institution or Lekra, a pro-communist group of writers and literary critics who launched a

I am seldom amazed -- let alone stupified -- by world events.
This amazes and stupefies me. 

The imperialists are actually right: Fidel Castro and Hugo
Chávez really ARE a _very_ bad influence on other latin
american leaders!
