the anarchists are coming... aren't they?

maybe. but not until 2008.


minneapolis is a fantastic pick for the gop convention in '08. and not from my point of view.
from theirs.


minneapolis has a very strong lefty political scene and history. but it is a small scene.
minneapolis also has a strong and violent police force, who are not afraid of committing crimes or covering up facts with a very thin veil of lies that for some reason floats in "liberal" minneapolis.
plus minneapolis is so out of the way, it'll really make those radicals from around the country work to get here.


in reality, we aren't so liberal here as we used to be. we used to be a economy based on farming, mining, logging, and other man's man work. unions were strong. workers were proud.


now we got a little money, moved away from all that "dirty hands" kind of work, but still fancy ourselves liberal. we vote dfl right? what more do you need to do?


well, voting has never been enough. we have lost our "fightin' spirit", and the gop knows we will be pissy that they are here, but not pissy enough to tear down their convention.
we may come out and sing, light some candles, chant some chants... but a black bloc?
probably not. not a scary one anyway.


well, i'll still do my part. but i'm not singing any fucking peace songs.
