I don't know what you mean about not being a proper activist though - what's one of those ? To sort the world out, all the human diversity (and however active, or not we have been in the past), and all the different thoughts, ideas and talents we bring to the table are and will be needed. We all need to be active, and say / do our piece! <br/><br/>Peace and love<br/><br/>Mark <br/><br/> <div>Sent from my BlackBerry® smartphone</div><hr/><div><b>From: </b> rachel mariner <rachelmariner@gmail.com>

<div>I would LOVE to get together, meet up and plan . . . </div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't think the Norwich Occupy group is active anymore but Chris Keene is a great activist who went with me to Durham to meet with the Dean there about Winter Carnival. He is a peach and he is cc'd as well. </div>
<div><br></div><div>What I don't have handy is a connection to student activists. they may all have become economics or law majors and are gunning for the 1%</div><div><br></div><div>The poem is actually the epilogue of Les Mis - the song Do You Hear The People Sing - but the lyrics at the end are different: </div>

I also like the slight dissonance of a white flag - associated with surrender - marched forward. Because the only way to bring peace is to bring peace. Is to not fight. So I loved it. But I was scared to write to everyone about it, Mark, when you suggested because I am not a proper activist, etc. There it is now. </span></div>
