<DIV>I can completely concur with Henwood’s statement and would even generalize
it to most of the protest demonstrations, commentary, etc. that liberals,
progressives, or whatever they have been named or call themselves have engaged
in with respect to most – if not all – the various issues that they have
advocated. At best, most of their activities have been no more than the
symbolic polictics of self-expression and testimony with little translation into
actually effective action. And like Henwood, I don’t know the answer to
the question of how one translates one into the other; nor do I really see much
sign that people are even attempting to deal with the issues involved in the
question with respect to this or other topics.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">
<DIV><FONT color=#000000>"...</FONT>I understand the reasons for protest
completely. But then what? How are protests in New York and Los Angeles going
to change Florida law or police practice? How do we get beyond the politics of
self-expression and testimony to something that's actually effective? I don't
know the answer to this, but I don't see much sign that people are even asking
the question."<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>
