[lbo-talk] WBAI scores with holocaust denalist's premium

[Mycos]

I'm reminded of a time when I was sitting in on a history class with 
a member of the Squamish Five. The prof had us studying 20th Century 
Europe (the name of the course) and we were looking at the Spanish 
Civil War at the time.  there was a line in the book which the prof 
read stating "The well meaning but naive anarchists...." "There are 
not naive!" he suddenly yelled out. Heh...memories...

Oh,. and it was what you'd call an "extension" course, funded almost 
entirely by the federal government. You see, we weren't making a 
whole lot of money back then. Barely enough for "teamers and 
choneys" as one would say.<g>
