1. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Man! I wanna crowd-surf that party!

[tama]

2. Looks fun

Perhaps it would be a good idea to organize also just walk-togethers, without some definite anti-agenda. Just demostrating our solidarity and humanity by walking together, and getting exercise.

4. and a rousing set of round-repeat songs...

6. Sing-a-long walk-a-long... :)

7. Bring on the march of the fools!

The lord of misrule requires the other fools
To take the banker and thief to task

3. Would like to know more about the protests at the German embassy in the Sudan this week,

because as I understand it, Germany is affecting austerity policies all over Europe and, now, with Greece out of the picture, the question is who will go under the bus next? Spain trade unions want to know too?

9. Thanks for that. I have heard Thom Hartmann mention this, but have not read

the details yet and in Reason magazine, yet!, my favorite love:hate publication, which my second husband introduced me to and read from cover to cover.

10. Something funny about that article

that didn't feel quite right. Then when I read more stuff from the site and attack against Syriza of Greece, I got it: Aha, RW libertarian site.

Iceland does not show Europeans that Greece should be kicked out. The lesson is that banksters and their politico runboys should be kicked out.

11. Oh crap, did I find another crap site? Will have to see if the story or principles are available

elsewhere. If it's not obvious or if you don't know me, I detest Ron Paul etc. more than the standard batch republicans.

[tama]

12. I don't detest them

just find them silly and naive, and to tell truth, quite pitiful. I have lot of patience with them, with their blind capitalistic self-deception and fear, as I respect and share the anti-authoritarian side of the movement.

Hardcore fascists I have no strength to be patient with, I just avoid them and give no attention.

5. Be with the people of Spain, AllOne.

13. This march got one sentence in the Sunday LA Times

at the end of an article about Spain marching. No mention of its size. Snerk
