I don't mean any disrespect for ISO and anarchists, but I don't see 
any bright political future for either group.  Both types of politics 
appear to appeal to the same age group (perhaps anarchists are a bit 
younger), except that the ISO folks tend to be more widely read than 
anarchists and that anarchists tend to be whiter than ISO, which 
seems to somehow attract a sizable number of young intellectuals from 
the subcontinent.  Several years ago, there were a couple of 
brilliant Indian graduate students at OSU who were in ISO (I don't 
know if they still belong to it -- I've lost touch with them, alas). 
Both are beautiful, and one of them is drop-dead gorgeous; I hope to 
see them again somewhere.
