Deliberately distorted labelling and supression of democratic principles

This is a great interview with Will Potter who wrote "Green is the New Red."  It briefly explains how and why animal and environmental activists are increasingly labelled Eco-terrorists in the U.S.  Our Hen House also has an interview with Will which goes into the various ways the U.S. government tries to suppress freedom of speech and animal activism in the U.S.

It makes me absolutely furious to read these things. More evidence that government supports corporations, not people, nor the principles of democracy. If I were not in a foreign country I most definitely would join in the Occupy Wall Street protests.  Strength to them! I support them wholeheartedly.
