"Then they’ll raise their hands, Sayin we’ll meet all your demands, But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered. And like Pharaoh’s tribe, they’ll be drowned in the tide, And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered."

— Bob Dylan, “When the Ship Comes In”

"In the spring of 1968, Gilbert (An SDSer and Weatherman) was called before the Columbia University faculty to discuss a possible student strike. He recalls the faculty asking: “Do you say you stand for democracy?” We said, “Yes, we do.” They said, “Would you stand by a referendum, of the students and faculty, everybody at the University?” … And I was really torn between what I considered fundamental issues and the commitment to democracy, participatory democracy, and I sort of hesitated and said, “Well we would stand by a referendum, as long as the people in Harlem, and people in Vietnam, who are the ones most affected by this, can vote, because that’s really participatory democracy.”23"
