I'm not entirely sure of the context of this qoute, but I would guess that it is telling a race of poeople who have been historically oppressed by others that they should work together and try to overthrow their oppressors/ achieve a certain goal because they can do anything when together and they are not inferior, even though they might have been told so by their oppressors.

Disinvestment actually refers to the process, where government allows private individuals to invest in Public Sector Undertaking/ Govt. owned companies, therefore reducing its participation in these organizations. It is basically done in those industries where the infrastructure lacks or their is improper management. Take example of MARUTI-SUZUKI, India. It is an automobile manufacturer jointly owned by Govt. Of India and Suzuki, Japan. Earlier the Govt. had 51% shares and rest were with Suzuki. But because of further disinvestment, Suzuki's stake has increased.\nRegards\nTSK\nhttp://tsk911.hi5.com

It's when a group decides to make up their own law for everyone to vote on. Over-used, in my opinion. In Maine it's often used by evangelicals who want to deny civil rights to others.\n\nThere's a special process, starting with a petition drive.

The most important benefactor to the voting process is the person doing the voting. There is a disconnect between those who don't vote and the society around themselves. It's a symptom of diminished self-image ..... ie., "My voice isn't important enough to count," vs. "Even if my voice isn't heard by the masses, I'll speak up." As for me, I hate politics, but I love our system. I don't believe in being a victim by default. Hey look, I spoke up. Does this count as a vote?

It means that the Dems are falling apart just a few days into their new power.\n\nIt happens in all criminal organizations. Once a little money or power comes into the group, they all start fighting over it instead of using it to get to their goal.\n\nOf course, the Dems have no goals except to get power, so that's why they don't know what to do now.
