I just can't do this again in ***This Fashion***
When I set up NY Fair Use, it was set up to do direct political action, which
is why it succeeded. When Brett and Jay dragged NY Fair Use from us, one of
their major reasons was in order to produce these useless seminars, and
demonstrations where a lot of pointed eared freaks, who all agree ANYWAY, yell
at each other, while the rest of the world pays NO ATTENTION whatsoever.
Their method is about emotional masturbation, and ego stroking, and avoids the
really hard work of political labor and risk.
I can't walk down this road again because someone woke up on a Monday morning
and decided to join the freak circus. I want to focus on REAL political
action, with REAL discipline, and a REAL target.
In fact, I have some ideas and I think I'll be announcing them at the next NY
Fair Use/NYACSH meeting which I plan to announce in a week or so. But I can
guarantee you my focus is talking to REAL congressmen, and building REAL
constituencies, of ORDINARY people.
