Have you ever protested something? Joined an underground revolutionary army? Gone on a hunger strike?
I was a member of the ACLU in the '80s. That's about as radical as I've been. |

When I was about 9 my girlfriend and I were dragged out by her older sister to protest the Vietnam war on the University of Illinois campus.

went to a lot of anti Vietnam War events and marched a few times
helped start a newspaper in Phoenix that eventually grew to become a media group that now owns a good percentage of the alternative news and entertainment newspapers in this country |

Besides, at that point there wasn't much to train. |

I was the right age for protesting during the end of the Viet Nam war. Instead, I focused on getting married. Sue me.

At Illinois State University, when the local police changed the beer keg transportation laws, we had a riot.
Sometimes you just have to stand up to the man. |

In the 80s I wouldn't play Sun Cit-tay-ee-ay-ay-ay.

I once pulled off the tag on my mattress. I'm a criminal. Is there any stature of limitations?

Back in the late sixties when protesting was in its heyday, I was a little kid in a small town in west Texas. All of my protests concerned the size of my
allowance and how far from home I could ride my bike.
I did, however, try smoking cigarettes behind the barn a couple of times. That was pretty radical, wasn't it? |

No, that's when he was jailed for beating up his wife back in the late 80's or early 90's!
It was cool to say that back then. LOL |

I'm an intelligent American and humane too. There doesn't seem to be many of us around, CBR. And I'm using "us" to include you.

In college, I joined the Socialist Workers Union and used to go protest this company that made bombs. I didn't know much about it; I was just trying to
meet chicks.
