This is one of the best things I've heard in ages. These activists made the corporatists uncomfortable, and they're getting people's homes back. This is amazing!

KnR for an uplifting (factoring in the horrible situations) post.

2. I loved that line!

Made me smile. :)

I am just so jazzed that serious activists kept at it until they were heard. That's freakin' awesome!

3. Ha, I just posted the same line in the other thread

I love the idea of sharks.

4. Yeah, I posted it in the Poverty forum, too.

I was hoping people who usually hang out there would see and read the link, since I figured it'd sink here.

assuming I ever come down to civilization.

8. And the offer still stands.

Heck, maybe I will just hitch a ride to Napa.

Bring a guitar with me, maybe.
