There was a book, "Seat of the Soul". By a Gary Sukov which was on the best seller list for a long time.
In it he talks about power. People with authentic power produce a product. Artist, writers, musicians, etc.
Artificial Power are things like, sex, drugs, money and guns.
What he didn't mention is the "power of denial". The less actual power a person has the more anxious they are to exercise....the power of denial
Everybody has seen Sonia, the red rage have a public orgasm when she denies a photographer the right to take pictures in public at a protest @ a college in Missouri.
When he stands his ground she backs away (coward) and calls for muscle. What is a terrorist threat?
If it had been me it would have been...go fuck yourself bitch. You don't like it? Do something about it.
I had the same thing happen to me when I was a photographer for the student paper at Los Angeles City College in 68.
The blacks were having some sort of conference. I went to take pictures. A couple of young men drunk with the power of denial threw me out. Surprise, surprise.
Didn't bother anyone. Didn't make the news
Times have changed
