Well, it's been a fucking excellent year for us anarchists. Never in my
wildest dreams could I have imagined this perfect delegitimation of the
political process.

It must be pretty bad or Gore would have spent most of his speech
tonight talking about America, God, and the need for other countries to
respect the U.S.A. How many times did he say "America" in five minutes?

This is simply perfect. The icing on the cake is that there will be
thousands of pissed-off progressives who won't be lulled by the false
alternative of an Al Gore administration. I know some of them will waste
their time building the Green Party, but many others will be motivated
to get involved again in grassroots politics and direct action.

I'm hoping a few more of you on this list hit the streets too. Some of
you need to get out of your ivory towers and realize that most people
don't care about your postmodernist Marxist blather. The academic circle
jerk is over guys. Get out there and raise some hell.

This was the year *everything* changed.
