Fine, stay away. I wil santicimoniously defend the rights of all who show up. I'd even defend you if you showed up and they arrested you without probable cause or beat you up. And I will be appreciative that someone is organizing something.

I love that, btw, the "precusor to ANSWER." Have you ever heard of guilt by association? I have never heard any such foolishness as you report produced by an ANSWER person, but no matter. You hedard it from a "precursor," so ANSWER is guilty. Whatta crock. Don't hurry down to the demo. Keep pure. That will terrify the empire and mobilize the working class. jks
