text: South Shore Mental Health ShoreLines Winter 2008 Publication Emma's Journey A Story of Step One Early Intervention O n Good Friday seven years ago Emma was born into a loving family. She was her mom and dad's first child, as well as the first grandchild in the family. The pregnancy had gone well, and everyone was expecting a healthy baby. Unfortunately, the doctors noticed a problem immediately after birth. Emma was described as being "floppy," and she had difficulty sucking, swallowing, and breathing. Her mom and dad saw her briefly before she was rushed to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). At Day 2 of life, the neurologist diagnosed Emma with Congenital Myotonic Dystrophy, a rare form of muscular dystrophy. Emma remained in the NICU for 12 days and her mom and dad never left the hospital. From the beginning they began to learn how to care for Emma and her special needs. Emma's Journey (cont.) After Emma had been home a few months, the family enrolled her in the Step One Early Intervention Program, which specializes in evaluating and serving infants and children up to three years of age who display signs of becoming "at risk" for developmental delay. The program helps parents to recognize and understand their child's particular developmental needs, and suggests ways to help their child grow. Because of her diagnosis, Emma needed to be taught many things that most babies learn naturally. Emma's parents and Carol, a Step One occupational therapist Emma 3 days old on Easter Sunday and case manager, teamed up to figure out the best way to support Emma's development. "Carol would come to our home and suggest how we could approach addressing Emma's varying delays. We really worked together," remembers Emma's mom. The family would practice the techniques with Emma and share their successes with Carol at the following week's home visit. Emma gradually learned how to turn her head, how to roll over, how to crawl, and eventually, how to walk. When Emma was 12 months old, her mother took her to a baby group at Step One. Emma's parents remember how difficult it was at the beginning as they saw other babies starting to crawl and pull-to-stand in order to walk, while Emma was not yet able to sit up on her own. Doctors had prepared Emma's family with the possibility that she may never be able to walk independently, but when she was 17 months old Emma started walking. This was truly a mir- acle in her parents' eyes. Carol working with Emma "Carol was fabulous. She listened, and helped Emma reach her developmental milestones. She made sure Emma received all of the services Step One offers to its families," recalls Emma's mom. "She helped us through a very difficult and emotional period of our lives." When Emma turned 3 years old, she graduated from the Step One Early Intervention Program. Emma was ready to attend an integrated preschool program at her local public school, and she continued to receive occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy. Emma's parents were determined to continue to expose Emma to the real world. They read to Emma constantly, which eventually led to her love of books. Their motto became "Have baby, will travel," so there were family trips to Hilton Head, SC, Park City, UT and Orlando, FL, as well as throughout New England and the Northeast. For developmental and social reasons, Emma's parents enrolled her in swimming lessons, ballet and horseback riding lessons. Emma celebrating her 3rd Currently, Emma is in 1st grade. Most children with her diagnosis do not birthday at Step One learn to read, but Emma is reading at grade level - another miracle. She continues to make progress in her integrated classroom, as well as with the occupational, physical, and speech therapies included in her individual education plan (IEP). Emma continues to enjoy swimming and ballet, but horseback riding is her true passion. She is learning to post, to ride in half seat and to independently mount and steer her pony. Hilton Head, S.C. While she still has some developmental delays, Emma's social and communication skills are healthy and she has blossomed into a beautiful, happy and energetic child. Riding Pebbles 2007 www.ssmh.org 2 8 2 800-852-2844 Emma's Journey (cont.) Emma was recently named the Muscular Dystrophy Association's 2008 Massachusetts Goodwill Ambassador. She attends charity events around the state to help raise money for the MDA so they can fund research and provide information and resources to families afflicted with neuromuscular diseases. MDA 2008 Emma with the Mascots of the Celtics, Bruins and MDA also supports Camp Florian in New England Patriots Canton, Massachusetts which Emma has attended the past two summers. "2007 Camp Florian Motorcycle Night" During "the best week of the year" Emma enjoys canoeing, horseback riding, swimming, riding in a Harley Davidson sidecar and developing friendships with other campers and the Camp Florian staff. Emma continues to amaze her family, her teachers and her doctors with her enthusiasm, her humor and her drive to succeed. Step One Early Intervention staff and families work miracles all the time. Thousands of children and their families have received Step One's services. Children graduate from the program and go on to lead happy, productive and successful lives - just like Emma! 2007 Ballet Recital Thanks to Emma's Mother and Father for sharing their story! From The President S outh Shore Mental Health will soon realize its dream of providing a campus for the children and families of Step One Early Intervention. To create this campus, South Shore Mental Health is renovating the Mollie Hirshberg and Hilda Mahoney Learning Centers and developing an outdoor play area all located at building Moon Island Road in Quincy. Step One, with this dedicated campus, will be able to increase the number of children and families receiving early intervention and group services, and to improve the quality of care for infants and toddlers. Children will choose activities, play, and interact with peers in the four new classrooms in the blocks expanded space. Infants with special needs will participate in new specialized services such as infant massage and a parent-child feeding group. Children with motor delays will enjoy our movement group. The Jumpin and Jammin Music Room is an exciting new addition. Music stimulates all of the senses and facilitates developmental skills. Music therapy addresses physical, psychological, to cognitive, and behavioral functioning. The state-of-the-art indoor Movin and Groovin play area we are constructing is specifically designed for toddlers to exercise and interact with other children. the The children also will be active in the indoor activity center with a sandbox, play equipment and sport balls. Additionally, family members will have access to the family resource and training rooms. future Families will have many opportunities to learn skills for teaching their children and to exchange ideas with other parents. With all programs and services on one campus, staff will be able to devote more time to educating the children. We will be able to use our resources more effectively by eliminating travel time between existing distant locations. www.ssmh.org 3 8 2 800-852-2844 From the President (cont.) The children and families will experience a warm and inviting environment as a result of the extensive renovations adapting the campus to the needs of young children. We also are making major changes to meet modern codes for plumbing, heating and air conditioning. Our goal is to celebrate the opening of the new campus by September 2008, and your contribution will help our dream come true!

Cell Phones for Soldiers The Cell Phones for Soldiers program was started in April 2004 by 13-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 12-year-old brother Robbie of Norwell, Massachusetts. Robbie and Brittany's goal is to help our soldiers serving overseas call home. They hope to provide as many soldiers as possible with prepaid calling cards. Through generous donations and the recycling of used cell phones, Robbie and Brittany have already distributed thousands of calling cards to soldiers around the globe. Sue Lydon, Controller for South Shore Mental Health, collected cell phones from employees and arranged for Robbie and Brittany to visit the Administrative offices at 500 Victory Road, Quincy Massachusetts on Wednesday, November 21, 2007. Brittany and Robbie were presented with the donated cellphones by President and CEO, Harry Shulman. Following that meeting on Monday, November 26, 2007, they appeared on ABC's "The View" and were both surprised with $100,000 scholarships each from corporate sponsor AT&T. It was their way of saying thank you for all they'd done. They have also appeared on CBS's Evening News with Katie Couric, The Tony Danza Show and WGBH's Greater Boston with Emily Rooney. They were also interviewed for Fox & Friends, NBC Nightly News and were featured in Money Magazine, Teen People, Good Housekeeping, Teen Magazine and met with Donald H. Rumsfeld. Robbie and Brittany founded Cell Phone for Soldiers with $21 of their own money. Since then, they have registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has raised over $1 million in donations. Featured Sponsor AT&T has donated more than $500,000 worth of prepaid phone cards to Cell Phones for Soldiers and is now offering all 1,800 company- owned wireless store locations across the country as drop-off sites to help recycle used cell phones for the program, through July 2008! Through increased fundraising efforts, the Bergquist family hopes to raise more than $9 million in the next five years to fund new programs, such as providing video phones with prepaid service to allow soldiers serving abroad to see their families on a regular basis. www.ssmh.org 5 8 2 800-852-2844 2007-2008 Senior Management Board of Directors Officers: Harry Shulman, MSW - President/CEO CHAIRPERSON - Sandra Slavet Stephen Wojcik, MBA - Executive Vice President VICE-CHAIRPERSON - George A.Rodriguez Robert Gibson, LICSW - VP Crisis/Rehabilitation Services PRESIDENT - Harry Shulman TREASURER - Stephen Wojcik Minghui Johnson - VP Finance & Accounting CLERK - Anna Marie McReynolds Kate Murphy, MA - VP Human Resources Directors: Paul Shaw, LICSW - VP Outpatient Services Thomas F.

"It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day."
Watching the 1988 film The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! via Amazon Prime the other night, I was surprised to see the following scroll by during the end credits:
Special Thanks to: Tripoli Rocketry Association
"Aha," I thought, "That's where the name came from."
To back up and explain. The origins of "Tripoli" as the name of one of our major rocketry associations is clouded in myth and the fog of history.
I'd never really thought much about the name's origin before. But, here was an explanation. As a contributor to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) had done earlier, I assumed that the credit was a comedic reference to events in the film ("the scene in which the car with the villain in it crashes into a mobile scud launcher before crashing into a fireworks store").
I imagined someone seated in a theater, finishing his popcorn as the "Naked Gun" credits scroll up the screen. "Special Thanks to : Tripoli Rocketry Association" appears. Pieces of popcorn fly from his mouth as he exclaims, "That's it! [pffft!] That's the name for our new rocketry organization."
It's a good story. It would be even better if it were true. It only took me only a few minutes of Googling to discover that the "Tripoli Rocketry Association" was incorporated in 1987, a year before the film's release.
And the source of the name "Tripoli" isn't much of a mystery. The "History" page of the organization's web site traces the name back to a local club formed long ago:
In December 1964 a group of high school students in Irwin, Pennsylvania formed a high school science club, with Francis (Glenn) Graham being one of the key founding members. The club was geared to all areas of science, but centered around astronomy and rocketry. Members of the club came from three cities in the area: East Pittsburgh, North Braddock, and Irwin. To help finance experiments and projects, one of the members donated some gold coins he had received from his father. These coins came from Tripoli, Lebanon during World War II. Since the members came from three towns, and Tripoli (roughly) meant "three cities," the name was accepted and they were known as the Tripoli Science Club.
So, as much as I wish it were true, the name of the Tripoli Rocketry Association (TRA) did not originate with a joke credit at the end of the first Naked Gun film. That just leaves us with the question of why the TRA is credited at the end of the film. Is it just a joke or did someone from the organization actually help the makers of the film?
After many hours of Googling (that's my new favorite non-word), I have an answer: "I don't know."
In May of 2004, the Civilian Space Exploration Team (CSXT) launched a 21-foot long rocket to an altitude of 72 miles. The "Go Fast" rocket became the "first American civilian sounding rocket to reach outer space" and the first verified launch into space by an amateur group.
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the achievement, the CSXT did it again.
The rocket carried a military grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which had previously flown on four commercial space missions launched from the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). Analysis of the data from the recovered IMU shows that the GoFast rocket reached 385,800 feet (73.1 miles) with a top speed of 3,580 miles per hour.
On Juky 22, KTVN Channel 2 aired a new story about Reno Rocketry, the Northern Nevada chapter of Tripoli.
The station's videographer placed GoPro cameras under and near the launch pads to obtain dramatic video of the launches. The "drag race" shot was accidental. "User error" resulted in several rockets launching at once.
Two years ago, Shella Condino, a Texas teacher known for using rocketry to inspire and educate, received a letter from the US Immigrations Service saying, "You are not authorized to remain in the United States and to depart as soon as possible."
A Texas congressman investigated and learned that the letter had been sent by mistake. Shella Condino now has a "Green Card" and continues to inspire her students in Presidio, Texas. Earlier this year, she once again, lead a team of kids to the Team America Rocketry Challenge finals. The team finished fourth over all in the nationwide competition.
As I write this blog post, Amazon.com is offering the Estes Phoenix model rocket kit at more than 50% off its regular retail price of $23.99. If you are an Amazon Prime member, there is no extra charge for two-day shipping.
I was alerted to the special price by using the RocketReviews.com Rocketry Deals Finder.

Over the past weekend, I transferred the RocketReviews.com website to a new server. One of the hard drives on the old server began showing signs of failing, so I decided to move RocketReviews.com and the other sites I host to the new server.
The new server is very similar to the one used before. It has an Intel Xeon Quadcore processor and 4GB of memory. It's running RedHat Linux and is located in one of Softlayer's data centers in Dallas, Texas, with direct connections to the largest and fastest internet backbones.
The only real difference between the new server and the old is that the new server has three 500GB hard drives in a RAID 5 configuration while the old server had just two 500GB drives configured individually. The RAID system provides protection in case a drive fails. If one of the drives fails, a new one can replace it without turning the system off.

Admitted suffering from an intense form of the flu and pneumonia, his kidneys stopped functioning forcing him to be placed on dialysis. Bruce's long-term outlook is good, but he has a long road to recovery and the family is already experiencing financial hardship.
Members of the rocketry community are coming together to support Bruce, Sheryl and Semroc by sending donations by PayPal to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Is this a systematic way to kill off the elite in NYC? I assume many are going to leave the city, TODAY and who will suffer?
Clearly Obama needed to stop travel and FAILED resulting in what is to come?
Mr. President please step down from office.
Congress should impeach him and each other for allowing EBOLA to be introduced to NYC/USA.
When you are losing control, introduce a new factor to retain power? Classic move.
Please share such topics of conversation with others at the dinner table.
"Officials say ISIS earns $1 million a day from black market"
a. how much money did Barclays make of the Trillions with the interest rate price rigging for DECADES?
b. how much does the US Congress make with all the law that make their transactions legal while they eFF us all for 3 centuries.
Seems like all of these guys like to point the finger at each other and we are the ones that are being hammered with injustice.
They do sell what they actually own and rip off from others, though I don't advocate them and the violence they use.
Please share such topics of conversation with others at the dinner table.
Look at that $0.10 spread.
Sure this is a legit business and the brokers are all legit.
The SEC should make them an offer they can't refuse.
MJNA,how many legal issues do they have themselves?
Are they some Senators or Congresspersons favrorite son? Will they themselves be brought up on charges of fraud and conspiring with others to commit fraud?
Is the SEC probing them currently?
Where do find their names and details?
That will be a list of names that many wil be interested in the near future for various reasons.
Is this another ploy by Wall St. to use pseudo journalists to fleece investors?
Is the FBI and the SEC investigatiing?
Will the US CITIZEN groups have to handle business themselves?
Please share such topics of conversations with others at the dinner table?
This needs to be a topic in the US MEDIA? Yet the do not mention it so we need to discuss this at our dinner tables, the bar, dentist office etc. if they are going to sherk their responsiblities as journalists.
Our futures need to be taken back by the voting booth within our nations and outside of the borders we need to take it back by FORCE. The policies and the alliances of the OLD to be DISCARDED, just as we discard the politicians of the old with in our borders. Whatever DEAL YOU HAD DIED WITH THE EJECTION OF THEM OUT OFF OFFICE. The new deal is bend and give us back what they hid or we will have a SCORCHED earth policy and show you the US CITIZEN MILITARY DOMINANCE WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING FOR EACH OTHER. TIme for talk will have long passed.
The elite families children will be in the front where the bark is and no longer at the TAIL. BOOYAHH!. As Rich Marcinko would say. Their boots will be the first to land before our children's.
We need a leader to be a stratight shooter and call out the poison that runs through the viens of our nations political system.
Please share such topics of conversation with others at the dinner table.
Is the world telling us our leadership is out of control?
Why don't we just eject all current members and go back to imperial ways. The U.K. and most of Europe would not be exempt from U.S.A. World domination by the U.S. Citizen and not the families and few handshakes that collect on the sweat of all of us. THEY are brought to justice as well. AFRICA is ripe for the taking? SCORCHED earth policy? We take over the resources. The Russians are bounded by rules and Put in is eliminated along with the systematic eradication of all the corrupt mafias of the world.
35% collateral damage is acceptable. Citizens are allowed to exact justice upon those that shark the law and than bound a law abiding citizen no longer. Every one knows all we do is follow the white envelopes they have so stuff for them.
It's time to be barbaric for a 2 year period to establish a nee empire for a new just world order. Presidents of many nations including ours need to be brought to justice? We should hope they collapse the U.S. economy and make us be forced to work and keep the youth unemployed it will unfold and explode in their laps? Enough?
Please share such topics of conversation with others at the dinner table.
That woudl put the US leadership on notice actually by then they will be EJECTED out of office?
They will be our salvation?They will ERADICATE the corruption of Congress - Corp America and Lobbyist maia that hide beind law and use the FBI and other branches to maintain power.
The youth of these orgainizations need to beomce whistle blowers as well.
Please share such topics of conversation with others at the dinner table.
j Wall St. is finally brought to justice past and present.?
k. WARS are declared on OTHERS and the US CITIZEN is BRUTUAL to those who do not fold to our way of life?
l. South America and Central America get a new US CZAR whose mission is to ERADICATE ALL FORCES RESPONSIBLE FOR PAST AND CURRENT ILEGAL - DRUG CARTELS/GOVERNEMENTS? We don't care how many ciitzens are collateral damage? Bomb the region into the stone age?

Is this where we are heaed? Do they know that? The levy is about to break and those who have orchestrated such events do not recognize control is the last thing they will have.
How long do we put up with all this? When the ALPHA DOG GOES RABID, he needs to be put down along with his ENTIRE lineage?
Please share such topics of conversations with others at the dinner table.
Mr. President please nails this to the doors of our Congress and the UN Door.
If these gloom and doom sayers are correct.
The PENSION PLANS and Municipal Bonds are DONE.
a. the US CITIZEN will EJECT all current congress members and most of the other branch as well as the current Commander and Chief at that time? Basically a political coup? We voted you and now the US CITIZEN will have an emergency VOTE OUT. The VOTE? Will be, 20M marching on the White HOUSE? Most of the unemployed and elderly probably can do that currently? 40M marching?
b. Quck TRIBUNALS will be held? Current and PAST Congress members will be brougth to trial and judged and sentenced with in the same hour? Perhaps PRESIDNETS EVEN? Batman movie, "death or exile?"

c. Families and associates will be given a lifetime ban for those that escape part b. above?
d. U.S. Citizen will go into imperialistic mode and conquer all that can be conquered?
e. Alliances will be broken with other nations? Israel is on their own? We might set up a 10K vs. 10K DEATH MATCH? only iron hand held 14th century weapons allowed? Winner TAKES ALL? They get 18 months to train. Pay per view TV which naturally goes the the NEW U.S.A. Repeat for other regions.
f. Africa gets wiped out, were they correct, we don't care about them? FINE. We take over the resources.
g. Put and END to RUSSIA and PUTIN, bring into the fold of OUR EMPIRE.
h. The U.K. pays taxes to the U.S. from now on or ELSE? Enough of this fond bond you think we have for you, kid borther vs. old brother, we all HATE you here EQUALLY? The kid brother you left here we just finished hanging from the RAFTERS of CONGRESS? UNDERSTAND?
i. We treat the MUSLIMS like SWEDEN does, they don't bomb SWEDEN do they? We give up all those that they want that we haven't taken care of, we are civil and take care of them on TV for all to see. Sorry boys your poliices are what did you in?

Find a member of congress. 160K known ordered. Try buying one today, see what results you get.
Fail to make the playig grounds even with forcing a person to be identified as a "day trader" and miimum requirements.
A handshake from a dallas hospital worker even with 3 degrees of separation will help them and their families reap what they have sowed?

"Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

Hello all, first time poster. I found this site through this thread
One of the things there was to get some vocal training. Now, I hope I don't offend anyone that is completely musically inclined but what type of "vocal training" would be needed to sing music like the Beatles. I find John and Paul's voice distinctive and unique, instantly recognizable and if fit the music perfectly. Ringo and George, while not "great" singers also sounded well for the songs they sang. What type of vocal training is needed for this type of singing. Other singers I think sound good, but aren't necessarily great singers are Clapton, Dylan, Waits, but at the very least their voice fits their music. They sound good.
I however, sound terrible. I would like to focus on the exercises that would help improve this technique but, since I lack the understanding of actual singing, I'm not sure on what to focus on specifically. I'm sure, for instance, that singers like the ones on American Idol train very differently than the singers I mentioned before.
Also, because I'm curious...
Has it ever been discussed how John and McCartney developed their voice, did they practice daily. Did they warm up? How about Paul know? How much time goes into keeping his voice? They make it sound so effortless I'm sure they work hard at "something" I just don't know that that something is.
Thanks in advance,
I'm not sure they ever did any warming up - I've seen backstage footage and they'd sort out their hair and tune their instruments, but I don't recall seeing them doing vocal exercises. I think they got their amazing singing talents from performing nightly in Hamburg and nearly 300 times at the Cavern Club, which pretty much made them as a band. A good dose of natural talent would have helped too - I doubt if Ringo had sung every night at the Star-Club he'd have been in the same class.
1 May 2011
Like Joe I don't think they did any vocal warm ups, they just sang for hours and hours anywhere they were, playing thru their own songs and others. Along with their God-given natural gift of being able to sing of course.
Personally I don't see John, Paul or George ever having the time or desire to gargle or do anything like that. It was more for the fun of playing rock and roll and getting the girls.

Summer is here, people are roaming the street at night, tempers run hot. Last summer we had a shockingly high murder rate on the east sides of Menlo Park and Palo Alto. Are the police forces working together? Is there a plan for more frequent and visible block-by-block patrols? It's only a matter of time before it moves from a gang dispute into an accidental bystander tragedy. Let's acknowledge the problem and address it with proven policing strategies.

BMW bike cover, £64 Time used: 10 months
What's good: Typically of BMW accessories, it's well designed and made. BMW supplied it when I had a G650GS as a long-term test bike. Now that's gone but I still like to use this on my own motorcycles.
It's easily big enough to accommodate a middleweight with fairing and luggage rack. It's got a draw-string, effective air-vents and holes for a cable lock through the front wheel. It's tough but not so coarse it rubs your paint away. It folds into a bag which is an integral part of it, so won't be lost.
It's smart and good at keeping its contents dry. And it's got a number plate window, if that's your kind of thing.
What's not: It gets a bit blowy in the wind. Even with the draw-string tight, the rear potion can blow right-off the bike. The holes are too small for a decent security chain to fit through. I have to use a bicycle lock.
If I was spending my own money, I'd struggle to justify £64 on this when I know around £40 will buy a cover just as good.

Letter from Prison: Shannon airport, civil disobedience and the anti-war movement in Ireland
national | anti-war | opinion/analysis Monday June 28, 2004 19:06 by Info
The following article has just been published in the latest edition of Comhlamh's magazine, Focus (Winter 2003/Spring 2004). Written by Fintan Lane while in prison back in January, it argues that anti-war activists need "to develop a strategy based on tactical diversity". Might be worth a read as people re-assess things after the Bush visitation.

Focus (not to be confused with the science mag!) is available in Easons.
by Kev Tue Jun 29, 2004 00:19
The only thing though is that the numbers involved in the antiwar movement have continued to fall and the IAWM (back under firm SWP control) is COMPLETELY against civil disobedience. I completely agree with what Fintan is saying but even the anarchists in this country seem to be all talk and not up to doing serious non-violent civil disobedience. How many people have actually gone to jail in this country while resisting the war? Not many - and almost all of them have been criticised or sniggered at by prominent antiwar types. Definitly they haven't been supported like they should have been.
by anne bonny Tue Jun 29, 2004 15:03
we shouldn't judge someone's commitment by how willing they are to go to prison for a cause.
by Fintan Lane Tue Jun 29, 2004 17:10
This article was written in January and, to be honest, the context has changed, in the sense that the focus now has to be the rebuilding of the anti-war movement (while taking a much more positive attitude to civil disobedience). That said, I stand over the central argument in this article. However, we must rebuild first.
by Joan - not anymore Tue Jun 29, 2004 23:10
What does Anne Bonny mean by saying that it's probably "more sensible" to avoid going to jail for non-violent civil disobedience? I mean, who wants to go to jail? The people that have ended up inside have done so because of their principles and that should be respected. Would you make the same covert criticisms of the bin charges protesters who ended up in jail? And what about Mary Kelly and the Catholic Workers? Are you calling them 'insensible'? People end up in jail as a result of actions in defence of their communities (bin charges) or for opposing the mass killing of people (anti-war), not because they necessarily want to be in jail!! The sneaky implication that they are nutcases or 'not sensible' is beneath contempt.

I agree completely that the Dublin marches have a limited impact. Like Fintan I wouldn't be against them but as he says what can they achieve 'by themselves'. We had 120,000 out in Dublin on 15th Februay and the government didn't bend. Big demos since (even if they were as big as 20,000) are often portrayed as 'failures' by the media because they don't measure up to the 120,000. I agree that we should continue with marches but not just marches. At the moment the anti-war movement (and the IAWM in particular) seems to have no strategy. Like how are we to stop refuelling? The marches 'by themselves' are obviously not enough. Time for a rethink.
by Lol Fri Jul 02, 2004 17:29
What a weird concept. According to the IAWM/SWP all we have to do is keep marching in Dublin and buying copies of the Socialist Worker. Their next project is the European Social Forum in London so be prepared for their efforts to suck the anti-war movement into that. Shannon? Irish complicity? It's too far from Dublin and doesn't suit the international strategy of the SWP. You see, the only strategy that interests the SwP is what helps to build for the 'revolution' and of course that means building the SWP. The issue of Irish complicity is irrelevant to them except insofar as it assists party-building.
