Once you mention protesting something in a public forum like this, the idea of doing it is out, because the aristocrats will have mucho security/police to protect themselves. It's like when I asked questions of Rick Moody at the Philly main library a couple years ago. I'd mentioned maybe doing it on the then-ULA forum we had going on our site. The place was jammed with security, and I was harassed by them afterward. (I was hassled for that matter by both security and police at the recent National Book Awards.) There are always plenty of things to protest-- but word has to get out quietly! (I'm too busy at the end of this month anyway to go up to NYC. But maybe someone else will crash the event; "Swiss Guards" and all.)King Wenclashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709139159194279478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1108158636961721832005-02-11T13:50:00.000-08:002005-02-11T13:50:00.000-08:00But obviously you're very much abashed by what you...But obviously you're very much abashed by what you say.

There are far to many other segments, of more intrest. The question is why do you care?<br /><br />Jeff Potter:<br />PS: The legal triumphs listed only occured because the culture was ready for them. Lit leads. Law follows. <br /><br />We must live in two different universes. Why do you think the courts had to make the decisions? Because the culture wasn't. Even know roe v wade cannot seem to top 55% but was opposed by a vast majority 30 years ago.<br /><br />40 years ago 80% opposed interracial marriage, citing "Moral reasons"<br /><br />Jeff:<br />I don't even need to go into how integration went over in the south.<br /><br />We take direct action, we use the culture, we challenge the perps directly, we make noise, we take pictures and send press releases (rants).<br /><br />And? That means nothing, lets take the most influential, using that method, the people who for some reason or another vote Democrat and Republican, by August less than 10% were in the swing voter category, nothing could budge the other 90%, now take something as trivial to the masses as literature, and nothing is going to change. It's like talking to the rap world about the immorality of sex and drugs.<br /><br />Do you think the record companies are going to sink this golden ship?<br /><br />Do you think the public who loves that lifestyle will?<br /><br />The ULA is not the first of it's kind, in many art genres, and almost all political movements start with the same goal, to somehow readjust human nature, through impractical means (this is why pure democracy would be a disaster)<br /><br />If the ULA goes Evangelical Christian then you can appeal to a greater base of NON-Writers. Although they for the most part have no intrest, and once you alienate what people enjoy, just so you can claim their throne, versus creating your space you are bound to fail.<br /><br />John Kerry is a perfect example of this, trying to play republican lite got him right where he belongs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1108135972409227122005-02-11T07:32:00.000-08:002005-02-11T07:32:00.000-08:00???

(A lawsuit would drag on for years until lawyers on both sides squeeze as much money as possible out of it. We'd get a final decision maybe in 2013.)<br />We're supposed to file lawsuits on behalf of idiotic demi-puppets who buy into the scam that is the established literary world? You don't see me entering any rigged contests. You know, "Truth," that we're a D-I-Y outfit. I'm not here to be anyone's servant. If you really think someone should file a lawsuit-- then Do It Yourself.<br />(Roger D. Hodge seems to have some kind of legal background. Maybe he'll be your attorney.)<br />p.s. If you were really speaking the truth you wouldn't hide your identity, but would happily put your name behind what you say. Until you do, you're just another anonymous game-player.King Wenclashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13709139159194279478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1108131003668449242005-02-11T06:10:00.000-08:002005-02-11T06:10:00.000-08:00PS: The legal triumphs listed only occured because...PS: The legal triumphs listed only occured because the culture was ready for them.

However this event will not be covered by the media, hell i think even c-span might ignore this. So basically you are protesting to people who no matter what aren't going to budge in viewpoint, in fact it is more likely to hurt strategically. <br /><br />Although Passing out a printout of the facts and passing it out couldn't hurt, anything more would be a setback. This is actually a great opprutunity, and it calls for greater caution and responsibility as I said, if there is actually something illegal going on, the courts are the answer.<br /><br />-The TRUTHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-1108059854076482272005-02-10T10:24:00.000-08:002005-02-10T10:24:00.000-08:00Lets look at the profound changes in culture, not ...Lets look at the profound changes in culture, not 1 came about from mass movements, hell even ABOLITION was opposed by the majoirty, and thank God the founding fathers were no fans of democracy.<br /><br />Segregation?<br />Brown v.
