Seattle accomplished quite a bit, thanks to months of planning and a huge tactical blunder by the police. ACT-UP was another successful organization that we should take lessons from.
What annoys me about people on this list even bringing up the subject of "limits" is that so few of you are involved in any form of activism right now. It's all talk, talk, and talk on this list.
Put your ideas into practice, fer chrissakes!
