"Ever
since the Spring of 1970 when I, like many others, was awakened
from the sleep of conformity by the kiss of the invasion of Cambodia
and the smelling salts of campus-distributed tear gas, I have
tried to act within the field of adult education with one main
purpose in mind -- to find and join with colleagues who will work
for a radically humanistic approach to the field as a part of
a worldwide effort toward a society in which, for the first time,
all people are free of oppressive rule." -John
