I feel good that there are so many out to show support for peace, but Van's right, dude. All we are doing is showing a loud disapproval without any teeth to back it up. Hey, at least we're forcing these law enforcement agencies to use up their budget now! Yeah, but they'll get more.

So short of direct action and even sabotage, to be MORE effective means changing other people's minds--notice that i have to use the word 'other' because they are not us, they are different from us, they are separated from us; by beliefs and ideology. By [thanks] Spreading Out, to say "Watsonville, Modesto, Salinas, Gonzales, Soledad?" or how 'bout Menlo Park, Atherton, Los Altos/Gatos, Saratoga, Hillsborough, Black Hawk?"

"I know this would take alot of work..." and by golly you are so right! by Spreading Out. How do we show these people that we're not stereotypically lazy?
