2. Yeah, it feels a little like that.

However, this is just getting started. Winning is going to be a long, concerted effort that must be sustained.

It is worth it, considering the stakes now. Peaceful protest and solidarity are very important. Perhaps participating less in our support of the Corporate Occupation, amongst other activities, will also help this unavoidable struggle.

7. I'm thinking of the Czech spring - things looked so wonderful for
