ideology 101 it easy to see why "progressive" groups want the president out, though.

progressive groups are usually nonmainstream. they're loud and confident because they know what they're talking about. they can be one-sided, and why not - it is the side that speaks to them the loudest, the side that is closet to their realities, the side that they live, breathe, eat and sleep with everyday.

in my view, progressive groups are almost always right. they see what's missing in the mainstream, and they want to balance things out. it's their right, their entitlement to be heard at the very least.

so when progressive groups are silenced just for gathering and disseminating info so average jane and joe (curious ones watching a rally or walking alongside a march just to see what's going on) can think for themselves for once, that's when i throw all my questions out the window and poke a new one at the oppresor - they're just talking. why won't you hear them out?

it's the sort of naïve question that provokes irritation and cynic laughter. :wry:  ¶ 10/31/2004 03:13:00 AM
