A lot of things that Shadow Protest is protesting are understandably protest worthy. But David Lynn's idea of fighting the political machines by having people sign up to volunteer for the two political conventions, and then not show up, is seriously lame. I mean, people. This guy needs a mom to give him the "two wrongs don't make a right" line. His argument that the Philadelphia economy didn't benefit (in 2000) from the Dem. convention employing city workers (because they had plenty of volunteer labor) is NOT a reason to LIE and cause chaos and be basically stupid this year. People can volunteer for whatever they want, and if you have enough volunteer support, you don't have to pay anyone. Lucky you. That's the way it goes. God, I really hope people harness their passions against real threats instead of prancing around the convention in Boston going, "Heh heh, fooooooooled you!."
For those that have no idea what I'm irritated about, read the Shadow articles (see below). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 12:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [UC] Philadelphia 2000 The Shadow Protest made it in to this week's CityPaper: http://citypaper.net/articles/2004-07-15/cb6.shtml In a message dated 7/14/2004 11:46:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Mark Krull <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >Hi >I found this article a good read since we are in a heated election >again this year.
