It's a weird place to be; we want to raise the fist of solidarity but our very livelihoods are at odds. <br /><br />I'm sure some radical types would advise us to quit, but we live in reality and have a mortgage and family responsibiliies so we won't be taking that advice, just donating what we can to groups who need financial support. <br /><br />I've been reading some of Murray Bookchin's writing lately and it's a stone cold bummer how right he was.Chad Lotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07532435215151055258noreply@blogger.com
