Let's assume we agree on everything about this whole UfPJ/ANSWER/TONC issue, 
because what differences there are, don't change what needs to be done.  We 
need to get as many people as possible to Washington D.C. on Sept 24th.  
Doesn't matter what flyer, under what "leadership" or anything like that.

irrespective of which political banner is waved or what slogan is chanted, some 
- and i'll stress some even though i think it indicative of too many 
*activists* - folks have no problem with hierarchy so long at they're at the 
top of it, have little conception of (or, in some cases, regard for) human 
development as a political issue, are more interested in dramatic gesture, and 
have little awareness of (or, in some cases, regard for) how interpresonal 
relationships reflect larger values...

so while *movement* analysis can grow sharper, *activists* lose the ability to 
relate to others (both to one another and to those outside their own milieu), 
*organizing* is reduced to getting people to d.c. (or nyc or _____ fill in 
blank) where people march, *leaders* make speeches at them,  and mainstream 
media - maybe - provides soundbite and picture that likely fails to convey 
message that *movement* wants conveyed...   michael hoover
