Suddenly it seems even more wrong that Fred Hampton got murdered by the F.B.I. and the Chicago police when Cleaver got to be born twice. Maybe it resulted from a very astute assessment of their relative long-term effectivenesses at change.

Amazing to think that the FBI/police were running around killing activists, but we're left with a society that thinks the Weathermen - who did their best to prevent casualties w/ their bombings of buildings - are seen as "terrorists" (see the campaign in 2008 "Obama's terrorist friends" bs)

Schlam => Slam
