All former SDS members please post here.

Everybody, Up Against the Wall people, Progressive Labor, Tom Hayden, everyone, please. We need to at least have some kind of reunion.

1. Yeah, right, I know your game, you're just trying to get them to come out

so you can arrest them. You work for the Man don't you?

[Hardrada]

5. And I'll bet you're a NARC!

No, seriously, I was an active SDS member and see no need to hide the fact. I was at the U of Iowa mostly during my membership.

2. I even have an SDS button I wore. "Vote In the Streets!"

In '68. Wore it proudly on my USMC shirt with the peace sign I painted on the back.

[Hardrada]

6. I still have one too

and treasure it for what it symbolizes.

3. SDS was too tame for me

4. Speaking of "The Weathermen"

I watched "The Weather Underground," yesterday, and it made me feel really fucking oppressed by a bureaucratic, authoritarian government. A man, toward the end, said something about the only violence that is permitted, is that which is sanctioned by a state.

That's kind of fucked up, when you think about it.

Anyway, I'm not trying to say that all SDSers were Weathermen -- before anyone gets bent out of shape, about that.

[Hardrada]

8. I know what you're saying

and that's how we felt then about the state. Weathermen came in at a later stage than when I was active.

7. I was a very short-lived member

When they had some sort of resolution saying that free speech is bunk, we parted ways. I was active in the anti-war movement, and they were talking about irrelevent crap by the time I joined. It faded away shortly thereafter.

10. Where on earth was this?

That was a strength and a weakness of SDS that there was no real top down ideology. Our own group had various views and never got totalitarian.

9. I belonged at the tail end

I used to do work at Hayden's office in the Santa Monica Promenade

11. I can see I'm going to have to try this again

When we are not on summer vacation!!

[Hardrada]

13. Good to see you.

Now I hope the rest show up!!
