can I just make a general swing at the keyboard intellectuals.

get of your arses and get down the places where people are gathering and get involved in the process

its real easy to sit at home and read the amatuer, naive, often foolish media that comes out of these media events and spectacles

even easier to type-up scathing nihilist critiques about the failure of the Left, the faults of the young, the weakness of the institutions etc etc etc etc etc

there is plenty of material, and its been done, too much

now is a time, to actually do something, and its time to be an organic intellectual and participate in the messy, smelly, noisy, uncomfortable realities of these kinds of democratic actions

soon enough it will dissipate, and you can go back to eating the shit sandwhich of Amercian life

but today, and for the next few days, there is something happening worth participating in

take your intellect, your knowledge, your experience and GO HELP
