thanks averett--it is not clear at this point that we are going.
i am a bit old for militarized confrontation with a paramitliary police force over a demo whose precise function is clearer for people who live in nyc than it is for those of us who dont.
i think there will be large numbers out--many many people think it crass to say the least that the republicans are having their shindig in nyc, close to the ex-wtc. but then again, given the bush campigns attempts to exploit the iraqi football squad for their political gain (to mention among the less squalid examples of the world according to karl rove in action), taste is obviously not a motivation.
