ivan Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Because hunger strikes actually work to get action. Â meh. better than nothing sure, and certainly they work better in theory when the oppressors actually have a conscience to trouble, but progress still seems glacial. for all their greatness, gandhi's hunger strikes couldn't turn the tide of muslim/hindu hatred. ira hunger strikes in the 80s didn't do much more than make more martyrs. Â as always, i hope for a legal and civil resolution, and am fine w/ the trails being held in my hometown, seeing as how everyone else seems to get hysterical when that question comes up...

matt_warfield Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I am posting from there right now. They now have Wifi. Conditions are way better than everybody thinks. Â Seriously, it is one of the biggest enigmas on earth that we have a facility there but no ordinary American can travel there and you have to go to fucking Canada to get one of their cigars.
