Why I often use the small letter "i" rather than the capital I all the time.

  1. The use of the capital "I" has been taught to all of us when we speak of ourselves. From a revolutionary perspective, i have chosen to use the opposite to show that i am part of the collective and not independent of the People, rather dependent upon the People to do the People’s work. Therefore, i elect to often use the small letter "i" over the capital, even though I still use the capital "I" at times.
  2. We have been taught to be owners and possessors of things and to think of ourselves first. Such thinking has caused the world many problems. It has created wars, racism, sexism, homophobia, and other ills that are artificially placed into our minds. Thus, by my negation of these alleged "social rules" i thus liberate my mind to think freely and independently from others’ influence, while at the same time, stay within the bounds of social collectivity.
  3. Once the mind has been reshaped in its thinking and we wash away all assumptions of how we should be, i.e. think, act, write, spell, define, etc., then we are better able to analyze for ourselves what WE believe, what WE feel and what WE want rather than being told this, that or the other, and govern our lives based on that. The dynamic to this is much more and i could spend hours on this subject, but my intention here is only to reach the reader who is unaccustomed to such spelling to look within themselves and recognize the difference.

TYPISTS NOTE: This web-site contains many instances where Ali has written the small "i" and the computer has automatically changed it to the capital. This is entirely the fault of over-complicated word processing programs and should not be thought of as in any way reflecting Ali’s intentions as the author. The same applies to the many British spellings that creep in because I type them in
