Also, of these 41 who were invited into the Alliance and who did not sign the statement, over half of those individuals failed to even respond to the invitation. Lest that one thinks this is an isolated example reflect back to when the U.S. Department of Justice issued their consent decree for public comment prior to approving the merger of Cargill, the nation's largest grain trader and private corporation, and its chief rival the commodity division of Continental Grain, at the time the nation's fifth largest private corporation. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of the waters. This struggle may be both moral and physical, but it must be struggle.
Power concedes nothing without a demand.

And these wrongs will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.
