The members of the local anti-war group (except for Jan & me) are all liberals, not marxists or even socialists particularly; they all support DP candidates. I have from the beginning periodically made sure they all know about how the WWP/ANSWER is regarded by people like Nathan. They all don't give a fuck. They find the topic not only irrelvant but aggressively boring and a waste of time.
