why not be real with yourselves and call the event Intellectual Masturbation 2005: Vanguard of Rebellion. too bad there aren't any anarchists speaking, instead activist-specialists. academic-philosophers. i'm sure they'll eat the vegan food at Saturn Cafe while they're in Santa Cruz. I'm sure they'll support local business and shop at Food Bin, or better yet... New Leaf. The speakers will probably engage in philosophical babble all day. then they go home. nice weekend. talk about it for weeks to come. sad.
