here they are!

well, the happy chica has immensely cheered me up with her entry of november 15 on the radical cheerleaders (i can't seem to find individual entry links for marcia, help me if i'm missing something.).  it's an ray of hope in the dearth of radical protest that i was bemoaning several entries ago.  protest doesn't have to be just marching and chanting, as these young people show to good effect.  in the 60's and 70's protest also took many forms, street theatre, puppet shows and satire, as well as rioting in the streets and tossing blood on draft files.  go, rad cheerleaders, go, go, rah rah sis boom bah, extend your middle finger to it all!

i say the truth always rings truer with a little humor thrown in.
