A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Is anyone else out there from the midwest usa besides me?

I'm in Wisconsin.

[QUOTE]
so i just posted the above message in response to a question concerning Freedom Road and i think it also says alot about the state of communist groups in general, not just those in Minnesota.
I know that the Anarcists are organizing for the RNC as i write this and it leaves me with a sense of disapointment that i haven't heard from alot of the local communists concerning this ......
i would like to change my feeling of disapointment into that of determination, what are the opinions of those communist members of the list (and anarcists) in setting up a congress or conference prior to the RNC dedicated to representing marxists and communists?
if such a conference were to take place what items would have to be on the agenda?
what sort of factional disputes would arise?
is there a reason to organize apart from anarcist groups in terms of the RNC?
would such a conference or congress be solely existent as a response to the RNC or is there a want and need for it beyond that?
i appreciate hearing your thoughts on the matter.

I know there are several being organized by anarchists, occurring in both Minneapolis and elsewhere in the Midwest. If you guys want to have your own conference, you should go for it. No reason to not have as many people out there and organized.
Tactics would be a good start.
In my experience, the various communist/socialist sects in the Midwest can't come within a block of each other without some sort of completely nonsensical argument developing, so you'd probably be in for an intense meeting.

HA, tell me about it .... going to meetings get me so down sometimes because an arguement inevitably errupts, whats worse is its usually about obscure events in soviet history or other topics that were far more revelent before any of us were born that have nothing to do with our contemporary situation ....
anyway just wanted to gauge the response from people on here and see what they thought, the agenda for such a conference would have to be strict to avoid any of the endless bickering .... so if there are any other suggestions out there feel free to post them ....

It goes one for the student who refuses to submit and two for the teacher who is under-paid as shit, and three for the strikes who give young bloods life and four for the years you spent stifled inside.

let me know about stuff
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.
