Prague

[Joanna Sheldon]

Thanks to all you who responded to this message of mine.  The day after
they used the "anti-capitalist" epithet ABC (Australian BC), both radio and
television, began using "anti-globalisation" once again.  I wonder how many
hours of besuited meetings have been devoted around the world to the
question of what to call the uncivilised masses who dare to call the
current system into question.

cheers,
Jo
