[Stephen Francis]

Again your comments support my contention...You've changed the subject to Obama....and just given UofM's BDS effort meaningless lip-service.Why is UofI's activist community so comparatively ineffective?

 I wish AWARE were able to "suck the life out of any effective activist effort.” Talent like that shouldn’t be wasted.

But contempt for farmers and shoppers doesn’t seem like an effective way to build an anti-war movement. Those farmers and shoppers elected a president. 

And the political establishment is now working hysterically to make sure he’s followin the war and econmic policies of the Obama-Clinton administration.

We should be attacking those murderous policies.
