I also think, regardless of whether what she did was a conscious political act, it was a political act all the same. My guess is if you asked any female political prisoners which you consider to be such, they would for the most part agree with my assessment. <br /><br />However, I recognize the difference between Marissa, and say, Oscar Rivera. I don't think it is as big as you think, but it does obviously exist. <br /><br />Would you describe a worker who was unfairly (or fairly) laid off and lost it and shot his boss and went to jail for decades as a political prisoner? Was that act political? Is it case by case?<br /><br />Finally, since it is my blog, I get to decide how I, and I alone, define political prisoners (lol), but I do welcome a discussion on this question... along with the question of political prisoner versus prisoner of war (for example in the case of FALN members). It would be interesting. There are some with an even more broad definition of what constitutes a political prisoner, as opposed to a social prisoner, then I.<br /><br /> Truth is, I am not sure, how much it matters in the end. The question that does matter is more about supporting prisoners in general and how we go about doing that.<br /><br />Thank you, Mosi, for your comment and interest.Oread Dailyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726848708021220961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13261933.post-80883493411852915302012-06-16T03:39:10.690-05:002012-06-16T03:39:10.690-05:00You can not even put the wordz political prisoner ...You can not even put the wordz political prisoner & Marissa Alexander together 4 that is far the truth. She is not in prison becauze of her politics and am sure that many of the 100 or so political prisoners here on amerikkkan soil would say the same thing.moorbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726730713849976437noreply@blogger.com
