How we should be proceeding...

A little less theatre, a little more attention to the real issues. Please be smart, people! The party/streetfight stuff might just be counterproductive. Though it might make US feel better, we do have to be in this for the long run.

Militance is fine if it's appropriate and for a good reason. But right now we need the public on our side, we need numbers on our side, a chance to convince people of the wider implications- on the ground so to speak.

It doesn't diminish our feelings, it merely channels them into intelligent actions that will further the movement.

Plan, strategize, influence, organize.
