[lbo-talk] Re: 52 Lights for 3,000 US Military Deaths

[Jim Straub]

This is a rare example of concrete work by an individual reported on, for
context and discussion, on this list.  One lbo-talk er confirming 50+ for
turnout on an iraq rally, when set against the hand-wringing, name-calling,
obscure-nonsense-debating, and so forth, seems almost heroically humble and
productive.  I so wish concrete work, with numbers turned out, descriptions
of conversations moving people to action, or other aspects of real-world
organizing, were put forward a tenth as often as we debated whether fidel
really hated homos or post-structuralists really are just pretending to be
talking about something real or hamas are great or horrible.

In this spirit I'll prepare for posting a description of the union election
and contract I've been working on for awhile in a little cowboy town in
nevada.
