    Samaniego! Cool, did you organize this one? Today is el dia del trabjo right........ I hadnt heard about it. tell me how it went.

    ................ just thought you might want to know i couldnt make it...............
    "Waste forces within him, and a desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the wilderness before him, a mirage of honourable ambition, self-denial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision, there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which the fruits of life hung ripening, waters of Hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment, and it was gone. Climbing into a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears."
    - <u>A Tale of Two Cities</u>

    Preferably don't use caps

    And how many went to it? Only 200 turned up at the one over here in Dublin.
    There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror... --- Mark Twain

    a protest in L.A? kool
    it wasnt a communist protest was it? i didnt think that there were any comrades in California. Well at least I havnt met any yet. This wasnt some stupid anarchist protest was it? Anarchist protests have become nothing more than a gathering for posers who are looking for a good time. These anarchists care for nothing more than just looting and smoking out. Not that these are bad things, but the anarchists in generall have no intellectual thought process and it makes me sick. We must have a commie revolution!!! fuck the anarchists.

    Fuck you red suit man. If you'd ever read any of Marx or Engels stuff, you'd know that both believed that communism would eventually evolve to anarchism. Anarchy is the only political system which truely reflects a classless society.

    The protest was to bring attention to the plight of the immigrant worker. Who has to work just as hard and receives not nearly the same amount of respect from the american govt. It was also Honouring the day of the worker.

    fuck me? buy me dinner first *****
    no, fuck you. Don't give me that shit about "if" i had read the mannifesto. I fucking worship the thing. Marx, unfortunately was a dumbass. The government wont just "dissolve" we're not all going to live in a happy little community like the smurfs. I'm sad to say it but people are too stupid too live in harmony. We need control, provided it is a benevolant control and not unjust like America's. Yes, I too had my little anarchist phase. Then I realized how fucking stupid anarchy is. If we had anarchy do you think that we would have all of the technology that you love so dearly? come on, you wouldn't last a minute. We would all die!!! Get educated for the love of god!!!!!
