get your head out of a readers digest, and realize how many Latinos and other immigrants there are that live all over this city and this country. you think Chicago's 'common man on the street' is a white north american? i dont see how having an internationalist, and anti-racist perspective is 'intellectual' or 'elitism.' and by the way, the vietnamese, of whom millions were killed by the empire, have worked with progressive US vets.

as for carl, see you on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. nice post, as usual.
