Politics: Intra-List Resolution

Oliver's point on the protests this weekend in Washington requires a leap of faith I may have been too skeptical to see at first. But I think it is probably true, that the thousands and thousands who attended this event departed energized and perhaps took the action I spoke of, phone banking and informing people in other ways about the importance of avoiding a war for oil. I probably need to be more optimistic, but optimism is a precious commodity in this town sometimes.
