I'm certainly not in a state of poverty, but I'm pretty close. I've been
unemployed for 9 months, I've had to take in a roomate, and I've been
eating food dumpstered by friends.

Sorry if I came across pretty shrill about this. My current situation
requires an outlet for my frustrations and my emails show it.

I managed to attend a pretty kick ass party tonight. My typical New
Year's Eve is spent at home, so it was nice to get out and see many of
the local activists. The party had plenty of food, beer, and drugs. I
think many of you would have liked the pyrotechnic display that happened
after midnight. Some major ass fireworks being set off in downtown D.C.
by a bunch of troublemaking anarchists.

Happy new year!

INTERNATIONALISM IN PRACTICE

An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said,
"I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly
Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s
unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’
and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking
hands when a truck hit us."
