As for the 'structure debate,' I asserted a 'veterans privilege' and avoided it. I've suffered through more than my share of them. I also think they could have done with less of Michael Albert, but then, I'm a David Schweickart fan. Maybe next time they'll invit him.

But I enjoyed the workshops. I heard Ra Chaka did well in the one on the prison industrial complex, and the antiwar one at the end was pretty good, too.
