Oct. 5: A Day of Mass Resistance

[hossua34]

In the New York Times this weekend, there was published a full-page ad by WorldCantWait.org, declaring October 5th as a national day of protest against the atrocities of the Bush regime. There have already been walk-outs over Iraq, immigration, etc. This is to be the walkout over the root CAUSE of most of those problems. It would be nice to see this thing spread, and become something major by October.

I love George Bush...

I can t think of one thing i like him for.............

War on terror ... he isnt doing enough.....

illegal imagration... he couldnt do a worse job


I like that he is a cowboy and did drugs like the rest of us, I would like to play some golf with him.


With a name Like IloveBecky, and You love Bush, I love you and Becky I guess

I'm all for removing that dip shit from office but it won't happen with religious democrats leading the charge, singing "Cum Bay Ya..."

Show me something organized at a national level (meaning a channeling of the fragmented web movements into something unified)... and that's FUCKING mean, like the right wing zealots that are running the show and I'll join in a minute.

In theory, the idea's got some sentimental appeal simply because it seems peaceful and heartfelt and so on. But Gray's right that we need a heck of a lot more overall organization to elicit change--and need to aim that organized effort for November and beyond rather than early October.

We should have been fostering this organization since the last presidential election, which we haven't done, and we aren't anywhere even close to being ready to do that now. I'm also struggling with what exactly I'd walk out on or stop doing. Thinking? Reading an anatomy book? The event presents some logistical problems for those of us who'll be busy doing what we want and need to be doing on October 5. . . .

(Gray, I'm imagining you, working for yourself at your computer, looking at your watch and realizing it's time, then walking to the next room for a glass of water in protest.)

Yes, I'd be at a client meeting and just get up and leave... unexplained powerpoint presentations, with colorful charts and graphs, would be sacrificed for the cause...

What a tragic loss that'd be . . . . the loss of compelling PowerPoint-driven messages.

Your mood says you're starving. If I weren't so lazy, that's precisely the word I'd change mine to. I had my pottery class tonight and was busy all day with various things. Have barely eaten. What I want is three fried drumsticks from Popeye's Chicken, but it's too late for them to be open. And I'm completely uninspired by everything we have here in the house. Just curious what you'd eat if given the chance. . . .
