Rearranging Furniture

I enjoyed issue vol. 6 no. 7, especially the much-needed charm of your Tom Tomorrow cartoons.

I can't see what difference would result from district elections for the Seattle City Council. [backtalk, v6n7] The fact The Stranger is pushing it makes me more skeptical still. What a huge waste of time, energy and effort in what amounts, at best, to rearranging furniture.

Appreciate your efforts putting out your independent biweekly paper.

Time to Act!

I am interested in facilitating the formation of small affinity groups interested in nonviolent direct action. I'm hoping to meet on weekend afternoons in StudioX in Belltown for discussions and planning. When we're ready we can stream audio program at 6 PM over the microradio network as a way to focus our thoughts and encourage others to join our effort. The two books "A Force More Powerful" and "The Quiet Revolution" are the recommended readings. A donation of time or cash to StudioX will be requested. The focus is on group empowerment to promote self-government that includes social and ecological responsibility, in defiance to the present decline of cultural and democratic institutions. If you are ready to engage or have questions, please contact me through e-mail at mosstone@scn.org.

When Spam Filters Fail

Hello, my name is Paul Foster, a 315 pound man from Macon Georgia who loves barbeque. I believe I have found the best barbeque sauce in the world. I stumbled across a web site called barandbeer.com and went into their store and found what they call Bachelors brew. I can't ever explain how good it is. I have been grilling for 30 years and I have finally stopped looking for the sauce of all sauces. If you happen to try it please drop me an e-mail and tell me what you think.
