Uncle Mike has left a new comment on your post "Check out the DC Anti-War Network":
Well, seeing as how you called my bluff, I'm going to take the time, while I recover, to read through this thing and get to know you better, Jimmy, so maybe I'll be a little more informed before I go shooting my mouth off. Besides, it doesn't appear that too many people read this thing, and that's a shame after all of the hard work you put into it.
So for starters, the first link is down (pity), and the second website is just some pretty dry stuff. If only we'd had the internet in the 60's, I imagine some of these anti-war websites (not that I've seen many of them) would have been much more exciting. People in the 60's were setting themselves on fire, rioting in the streets, and doing all sorts of nonsense for their beliefs. People nowadays are rather soft, now instead of taking a can of gasoline to a protest, they take their Starbucks. Of course, not all of ya are like that, just most of ya'll. I really admire the extremists. I don't necessarily agree with them, but I admire them for having the gumption to take injury for what they believe in. If more of you were like that, you might affect some real change, good or bad.

About Me
- Jim Macdonald
- Hi, my name is Jim Macdonald, and I have an odd assortment of interests. In no particular order, I love Yellowstone, I am an anti-authoritarian activist and organizer, and I have a background in philosophy, having taught at the college level. My blog has a lot more links to my writing and my other Web sites. In Jim's Eclectic World, I try to give a holistic view of my many interests. Often, all three passions show themselves interweaving in the very same blog. Anyhow, I think it's a little different. But, that's me. I'm not so much out there, but taken together, I'm a little unusual.
