black blurb
History is way cool, and knowing it is even cooler. Philosophy, theory, same thing. But, if I'm reading right, the best organizers tend not to be ideologues. Maybe I'm the classic carpenter, who, hammer in hand, sees every problem as a nail. But I think people organize around bread and butter stuff, unless they are very young, in which case they organize around a passionate battle against boredom. Lots of wonderful and colorful things have come from both.
