More From Robin Morgan

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

Our culture's adjustment to the epistemology of television is by now all but complete; we have so thoroughly accepted its definitions of truth, knowledge and reality that irrelevance seems to us to be filled with import, and incoherence seems eminently sane. and if some of our institutions seem not to fit the template of the times, why it is they and not the template, that seem to us disordered and strange.

Most codes extend their definitions of treason to acts not really against one's country. they do not distinguish between acts against the government, and acts against the oppressions of the government. the latter are virtues, yet have furnished more victims to the executioner than the former. real treasons are rare; oppressions frequent. the unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries.

It must be stressed that there is nothing insulting about looking at people as animals. we are animals, after all. homo sapiens is a species of primate, a biological phenomenon dominated by biological rules, like any other species. human nature is no more than one particular kind of animal nature. agreed, the human species is an extraordinary animal; but all other species are also extraordinary animals, each in their own way, and the scientific man-watcher can bring many fresh insights to the study of human affairs if he can retain this basic attitude of evolutionary humility.

My aim is to advocate that we make this mental switch in respect of our attitudes and practices towards a very large group of beings: members of species other than our own - or, as we popularly though misleadingly call them, animals. in other words, i am urging that we extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species.

When i was young, the early death of my father cast a shadow over me - and i was afraid to die before all my literary plans came true. but between 30 and 40 years of age my attitude to death became quite calm and balanced. i feel it is a natural, but no means the final, milestone of one's existence.
