16751. Ms. No - 9/26/2005 7:46:22 PM You know, radical feminists wouldn't sound so incredibly stupid if they'd quit saying stuff like that. I mean, honest to god, when your political philosophy flies in the face of biological reality you're just a hack. 16752. alistairConnor - 9/26/2005 8:33:10 PM It's just run-of-the-mill far left factional behaviour, certainly not specific to feminists. Some people shouldn't bother forming political parties, they will never have any influence if they are not even prepared to work with their allies. 16753. arkymalarky - 9/27/2005 1:58:34 AM Dang, Judith. That's awful--both the neighbor and your NO friend's situation. What's her situatioin now and her plan for the future?
I hate petty snipy crap. One thing I really love about where I work, and about the Mote, is that all that is pretty much nonexistant. Not to say no one ever gets into it or gets mad, but it's not from that kind of boring, constant yah-yahing.
Something about Pelle's post is just hilarious to me, partly because they're certain never to be taken seriously, and they'll never get it. It really boils down to a control thing, that fits right into the very stereotypes they hate. In my more paranoid moments I suspect they're conservative plants.
I also can relate as a liberal who usually detests working with liberal political activists. They're often completely impractical and have no sense of how they appear to the general population, and they're constantly baffled about why they have so little political influence. They attribute a lot to money--rarely do they pause for some introspection and maybe a shift in strategy. In fact, the very idea that they should employ strategy insults them.

Funny...to me, that sounds like conservatives! 16755. judithathome - 9/27/2005 2:56:32 AM What's her situatioin now and her plan for the future?
She's planning on staying here, in Fort Worth, and has already applied for a job with the FW library system. And, even though she has an apartment for six months rent free, thanks to one of my group's members, she realizes she cannot afford to rent this palce on her own and is looking for an apartment within her means.
I can't stress enough what a wonderful person this lady is...she is a realist and a survivor. I admire her beyond belief.
16756. judithathome - 9/27/2005 2:57:50 AM And I meant place instead of palce. 16757. wonkers2 - 9/27/2005 4:16:34 AM I just watched part one of Martin Scorcese's movie "No Direction Home" about Bob Dylan. What memories it brought back! What a monumentally talented poet and musician is Bob Dylan! The movie consists of clips of early live Dylan performances of Like a Rolling Stone, A Hard Rain, The Masters of War, Mr. Tambourine Man and of course, Blowin'in the Wind and many more interspersed with commentary by Dylan, Dave VanRonk, Joan Baez, Alan Ginzburg and many others who were involved in various ways with Bob Dylan's early career. The movie provides good music and perceptive historical understanding of Dylan's developing talent and work. 16758. judithathome - 9/27/2005 5:44:43 AM The most memorable concert I ever attended was Dylan's Rollimg Thunder Revue. 16759.

Yeah, I was wondering whether it would go to the ether or inferno. winky

Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 6:27:34 AM And how would any scientific progress come from that mindset? 16762. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 6:31:06 AM Forget the scientific, strike that. 16763. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 6:36:23 AM I watched the "No Direction Home" too, well most of it except for the 40 minutes I was reading the goodnight book to the kid.
Who was that white guy who killed the black guy by shooting him behind a bush?
The piece could have been done better by showing each person's name each time they spoke. I missed a bit in the middle, and it was confusing later. 16764. judithathome - 9/27/2005 7:00:23 AM Hey, sometimes resistance is scientific and sometimes it's just good manners. 16765. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 7:13:15 AM Sometimes people aren't raised 'properly'
with their big ideas of what they will be
I don't have PhD, shouldn't that person lead the way?
Talk about good manners.
Yes, I could learn some. 16766. Macnas - 9/27/2005 8:56:41 AM But sure what good would that do? 16767. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:01:55 AM Absolutely nothing, sure as I'm sitting here. 16768. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:09:52 AM Freak off, I'm un teachable 16769. Ulgine Barrows - 9/27/2005 9:17:34 AM Yet my hair is quite soft
I drive my own car...... 16770. alistairconnor - 9/27/2005 9:18:59 AM I certainly have nothing to teach you, Gine.
A lot to learn, always.
