Not to disuade you or others from going to Philly, but two things come to
mind.  First, who cares who the parties nominate or what their platforms are? 
We oppose them regardless.  Second, and this may seem a little cowardly, but
philly of all cities seems to be home of lethal police repression.  Look the
wrong way and they'll burn down an entire city block just to get you.

On the other hand, protests having little to do with the convention but taking
advantage of the media presence and the location may be a good idea.  Mumia of
course springs to mind but I'm sure there are others.

cheers,
Scott
