We are monopolists in the field of politics. We can't stand any competition. We can tolerate no rivals. The working class, to make the revolution can do it only through one party and one program. This is the lesson of the Russian Revolution. That is the lesson of all history since the October Revolution.” -James P. Cannon.

"Getting a job, finding a mate, having a place to live, finding a creative outlet. Life is a war of attrition. You have to stay active on all fronts. It's one thing after another. I've tried to control a chaotic universe. And it's a losing battle. But I can't let go. I've tried, but I can't." - Harvey Pekar

I've been a couple of times in past years. Had to work this weekend.
I thought it was an interesting experience when I went - there's this whole left-wing Catholic trend that mobilizes for it. Student contingents from all the Catholic universities.
And sometimes people stationed on the base drop by to discuss with the protestors - which can be a chance to find out a little about what's happening inside the army. One time I found about this trend of soldiers on food stamps.
Was Fr. Bourgeois there when either of you were there?

I think he spoke both times I went. He seems to be the central figure of the protest campaign.
He is the founder of the School of the Americas watch.
He used to be a US solider and I think he even may have trained at the SOA.
