    Interesting. Depending upon my schedule, I very well might attend. That's very close, distance wise.

And when I say proprietor, I do not mean simply (as do our hypocritical economists) proprietor of his allowance, his salary, his wages, – I mean proprietor of the value he creates, and by which the master alone profits... The labourer retains, even after he has received his wages, a natural right in the thing he has produced.”[/FONT]

    Yes. Yes. Yes.

    I don't see why I wouldn't since I'm a midwestern woman.
    I dreamt of a flower that was so beautiful that when it whithered away and died a tear left my eye. I saw our births, our lives and our deaths. I felt fire paint me with pain and I felt a kiss on my lips with a knife in my neck. Love to heartbreak to self-destruction to birth and to finally learning to frolic back into the same trap with a warm smile.

    I saw millions of people working.
    Not for themselves but for someone else.
    I saw millions of people doing.
    Not what they themselves want to do.
    But what someone else wants them to do.

    UNAC is trying to make the Saturday May 19 demo a mass, peaceful demonstration. Hopefully as things come closer a framework based on the Pittsburgh Principles from the 2009 G20 protests will come together:

    Not sure what the more anarchist flavored ones will be like. Depending on what's what at that time, I may or may not be in Chicago for the 19th.

    If you get caught with a helmet anywhere in Illinois within a month of the summit you'll be visiting a secret detention center somewhere.

    Edit- actually this isn't usually the case- the pitts demo security stuff got put up overnight

    Everybody dress up as Red Army men and pretend to be traveling bands of WWII reenactors until the last minute.
