Postcard From Smoothy 15 November 2017
Postcard From Smoothy
A typical day:
I was taking a peaceful floor nap when I was attacked by Neo, a
vicious Wheaton Terrier who has come to live with us—God knows why. You
would think one dog is more than enough, but now we have two.
He went for the throat, as usual, but I was able to fight him off with cat-like reflexes.
Notice the razor sharp teeth.
I
finally manage to calm him down, but it’s not easy.
I think he might be
ADHD, but who knows.
If he gets any bigger this could be a serious
problem.

October Curiosity
It’s round
and it’s yellow
A very odd
fellow
I found on
the living room floor.
It’s not
good to eat
It’s some
kind of cat treat
But I’m
not sure what it is for.

Rudolf Rocker
Rudolf Rocker
Political activism:Political rights do not originate in parliaments; they are, rather, forced upon parliaments from without. And even their enactment into law has for a long time been no guarantee of their security. Just as the employers always try to nullify every concession they had made to labor as soon as opportunity offered, as soon as any signs of weakness were observable in the workers’ organizations, so governments also are always inclined to restrict or to abrogate completely rights and freedoms that have been achieved if they imagine that the people will put up no resistance.
Even in those countries where such things as freedom of the press, right of assembly, right of combination, and the like have long existed, governments are constantly trying to restrict those rights or to reinterpret them by juridical hair-splitting. Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace. Where this is not the case, there is no help in any parliamentary Opposition or any Platonic appeals to the constitution.
