The realization came to me during the depression that all that education I had been getting through grade school and high school were lies.

They were lying to me.

This was the best country in the world.

We never did anything wrong.

All our people that ar in office are there only because they are great, wonderful people trying to do the best thing for everyone.

Well...

Fat chance.

So then I went off to college without a dime in my pocket.

As a matter of fact, I hitched a ride on a truck going down to Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington.

My first action, political action, I can think of, was when I was in college.

My best friend and I organized a peace strike.

There was a national organization called the Student Union.

So all over the United States students were keeping in touch with each other and doing- it was a time of radicalization for, for many of us and we organized this peace strike.

We called it the Veterans of Future Wars.

And the idea was: give the money now to go to school.

Don't wait until theyd been to war and gotten killed.

The exact period in which Faith was in college was the exact period in which students were beginning to really think and talk and debate.

There was a very expansive questioning about official policy and how political decisions get made, and what the cost is for everyday people.

I felt that the world wasn't going the way it should.

The Spanish, so-called Civil Wa which was actually an invasion of Hitler and Mussolini, had a tremendous effect on me.

The democratically elected left-wing government of Spain was toppled by Franco.

United States position was neutrality, which many people were very upset about because, what's going to happen to democracy?

A boy I knew in colleg went over there and was killed.

and I became very radicalized.
