<HTML><FONT SIZE=2>Thank you Leo. We're going to be presenting you with the Order of
<BR>Lenin medal - or the Order of Kropotkin, take your choice - any day
<BR>now. Sandra and Randi would be proud of your political work!

<BR>I thought that at the very least I had earned the Eduard Bernstein medal. Of <BR>course, that wouldn't be in LBO's terrain, but you could put a good word in <BR>for me. I think that the Daniel DeLeon medal would be something more up the <BR>LBO alley, and modesty would forbid me from making a claim on it, with so <BR>many more deserving souls here.

<BR>It never has, and it never will.
<BR>If there is no struggle, there is no progress.
<BR>Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who <BR>want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and <BR>lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.
