Nooooooooooooooo!!! AAAAH!!! It'd be a terrible tragedy to throw away good
Ricola drops and Swiss chocolates. Taffic signs are much better.

Who on this list in Los Angeles, besides Monte Burns, I mean Monte Bartley?
Just a reminder: BIG demo against GAP is planned for Sat., Feb. 5, at 1 p.m
at the GAP on the 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica. Some environmentalists
from San Francisco are coming down for it and quite a few garment workers
from L.A. are apparently going to show up. It should be prove to be pretty
damn good. Please spread the word.

And.. ChuckO, I'm wondering something: how many lists are you on? Your name
seems to show up on nearly every list I'm on. Also, are the capitalists
still ranting and raving on the a-act list?
