Intro

[Margaret]

Hello, all.  I've already posted to the list, so I
should probably introduce myself a bit.   I'm female,
north-european, 58, and not an academic.   I'm probably
only accidently a marxist, if at all -- my 'bibles' are
the works of Noam Chomsky and the late Saul Alinsky,
and i identify as a socialist libertarian.   I'm
convinced that we in the US are in serious trouble, and
are rapidly approaching the point where we will no
longer be able to make significant socioeconomic
changes via peaceful means.  This frightens me, so i'm
very interested in working with others to turn that
around while there's still time.
