But anyway - syc, while you do have a good point, (particularly the race riots - highly disturbing) thing key things I see, actually standing up to big business (Honeywell/GE merger, blocking some GE trials), limiting work hours etc...The rejection of the right wing nadir of capitalist society (nadir..my fav word atm.....) while the US of A sinks deeper and deeper...
I would live in new york, and obviosly i'd visit Philadelphia
but apart from that
