[Peace-discuss] Mr Smith Goes to Washington

[Bill Strutz]

He is one of the two trolls I was discreetly referring to, and he was doing
it again in his reply to me -- read my pleasant little announcement and the
condescending diatribe he sent in reply:  His same old garbage about
political action being useless and the corporate powers being too powerful
to even think about resisting them.

His message is that we should all just bend over; so what is he doing in
this listserv?
