You want proof there is a God? How 'bout this? Let's say you're a graduate employee union that is having some difficulty in bargaining. Looks like your headed for a strike. You'd immediately start thinking of ways you could put pressure on your university to force them settle without you having to strike right? You'd need to find a way to make a big deal out of your strike, disrupt some major event, embarrass the university. Could you be luckier than having your university hosting the 2008 US Olympic Trials? Maybe only if that university happened to pick "the whole world is watching" as the slogan for the trials. The demonstration script practically writes itself.
You see, there is a God and apparently She is pro-GTFF.
Hayward Field, site of the games, has one main, easily blockable, entrance. Moreover, the wind tends to come out of the west or north in Eugene. Hayward runs north to south, with the main entrance on the north side, meaning any tear gas used would blow into the track. The first event is on Friday, June 27th at 10 am. Do we throw up a 100 person "informational picket" at 9:30 am that Friday or do we wait until NBC goes live with prime time coverage at 5 pm on Saturday? Oh, the debates we'll have about that one!

Not only have you geared up for militancy, but you've figured the prevailing winds into your plans?

Other than witnessing l'il wobs birth, I don't think I've ever been so proud.
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Notebook, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://notebooks-brasil.blogspot.com. A hug.
Can I wear my running clothes to the picket? I'll wear my GTFF wristband too. They'll fit in perfectly.
Oh - and if Prefontaine were still alive, he would totally hold our line.
I think you could help all causes by getting that hippie bus that's riding around playing "louie, louie" involved in this pronto.
