Re: Rampage Across Athens

Why wave a red flag like that?  Do you just want to start some sort of flame war?

The list can tolerate differences of opinion, but not nastiness.

Militant actions can produce positive or negative results.  Thoughtless militant
actions without any idea of the context are sure to lead to the negative outcomes.

I don't like McDonalds or Starbucks.  I can go downtown and smash some windows.
Maybe I can publish a manifesto to explain my actions.  But as an individual without
roots in a larger movement with a vision and a strategy, I will only give an excuse
to the government to crack down on others with a more positive political strategy.
