What ever happened to the Nov 6th general strike ?
What happens to everything ? Today bush never showed up for the vets and tomarrow this will vanish into the ether too .

There are alot of good ideas out there but somehow the next sunrise erases everything as if it never existed .

Now we have the war on X-mas again , what happened to the Iraq occupation ?

People are all talk and no action that's what I think .

I try to do what I feel matters and may have an effect but if everything is going down the memory hole then what is the point .

1. Because things like that can't be coordinated and wouldn't work anyway
It's just like that "don't buy gas on this day" e-mail nonsense.

2.  I know one day would not make an impact
What it may do is gather support over time and make it possible to make a change , things have to start small and build . But when it's ignored and crushed right out of the gates well then it is pointless .

3. OTOH, the 3rd Iraq War Moratorium Day is this Friday.
