| I went to school, all the way through college, but somehow I maintained the ability to think for myself. Sometimes I want to be thought of as a writer or an artist, but that\'s really just me trying to be impressive. In all honesty, I just want to live a meaningful life, and not see nearly as many machines and waste and advertisements for crap as I do on a typical American day. I want to know the land I live on, see and hear animals and wilderness, and leave behind the horrible follies of history for something more satisfying and productive. |

Critical Action is a longtime friend of Z and a music and storytelling project grounded in liberation, solidarity, and resistance to authoritarian power. Through music, narrative, and multimedia, the project engages the same political realities and movement traditions that guide and motivate Zās work.
