So......

I saw u lurking around at the folklife festival.

What happened to the protest u said was coming ???

I suppose "lurking" is the correct term if the day you saw me was the day that my wife and I decided to get a seat for the evening Latin dance-band show early, while the hastily-thrown-together women's folk quartet made up entirely of women from the USFS was still playing -- really really _badly_.

And, Dog bless 'em anyway, it sadly seemed the only way we were going to get a contingent of Rainbow folk to convoy into DC from WBGV to stage an action at the Smithsonian festival was to promise them a place to crash, free food and a pound of ganja.

Of course, I didn't say anything was _coming_, in terms of actually predicting anything; what I _did_ do was the equivalent of openly and obviously pointing out an ideal direct-action opportunity in the heart of a national government-sponsored folk festival that'd "kick down the door" to this issue in front of the festival promoters, the tourists, God, and everybody.

And, you've taken the words right out of my keyboard...where was _anybody_? It's not like there weren't enough people in town who supposedly gave a shit about what was happening up in West By God, and it's not like I didn't do everything but get them together myself, drag them all down to the Smithsonian festival by the scruff of the necks, point out the USFS promo pavilions to them and shout "Look! There it is! Go get it! THERE IT IS!"

This is the only method of communication 'allowed'.

You have an emergency at home. Your 'wife' needs you.

Only someone trying to shock people to gain some dubious fame would stoop so low as to release such a video.
Whoever released this video is , in my opinion, of a very low intellect and is probably socially inadequate in all respects. Hence the need to shock.
I guess that even pond life like the scum who made this video , have rights too.
I was MOST unimpressed.
I am a Londoner.

Mikey you really have sunk to a new LOW!
