Lots of right arguments go unheard, and many wrong ones flourish, or
else why would the US still be supporting the bombardment of Yemen?<br class="">
<br class="">
Look, I signed up for AWARE as an anti-war group. I go with David
and Ann and Karen to work the farmer's market twice a month, and to
the monthly demonstrations, to express and work for opposition to US
participation in wars around the world. I've done that and other
things for many years, as many of you know who have been doing it
beside me.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm here on this list and others for discussion of opposition to war
and what we can do about it.<br class="">
<br class="">
I didn't sign up to AWARE, and neither did the several people who
joined this list just last weekend, to join an anti-abortion
(and-oh-by-the-way-never-mind-what-happens-to-the-mothers) group.<br class="">
<br class="">
Anyone here who wishes to start or join such a group, run a market
presence, hold demonstrations, carry on discussions, is welcome
to. But not on this list, please.<br class="">
