"American capitalism, based as it is on exploitation
of the poor, with its fundamental motivation in
personal greed, simply cannot survive without force --
without a secret police force. Now, more than ever,
each of us is forced to make a conscious choice
whether to support the system of minority comfort and
privilege with all its security apparatus and
repression, or whether to struggle for real equality
of opportunity and fair distribution of benefits for
all of society, in the domestic as well as the
international order. It's harder now not to realize
that there are two sides, harder not to understand
each, and harder not to recognize that like it or not
we contribute day in and day out either to the one
side or to the other." -- Philip Agee, CIA Diary, p597
