Civil unrest and the pursuit of social justice has always been part of this Nations' history. This conversation, which has reverted to ayers again, reminds me of a conversation on this board-- with a very intelligent unnamed poster, who when we were discussing terrorists motivation, brought the Sons of Liberty up-- and described them as terrorists since they were widely accused of tarring and feathering. I didn't agree that technically they were terrorists because the intent was not to kill but to humiliate. This poster raised a good point. One mans terrorist is another mans patriot. So, can one really call Ayers a terrorist since he didn't seek to cause bodily injury? Would you call the Boston Tea Party an act of terrorism -- dumping tea and lighting boats on fire? I suppose it depends on your point of view.
In todays society, with some of the antiquated social inequalities abound, if I had a choice between Ayers teaching social justice or a more radical group spewing propaganda which really amounted to social injustice with an agenda, I'd take Ayers first.
