[Droopy]

2. How radical are you?

[Radical Activist]

5. More radical than a box of crunchy tofu toad chocolates

served by Dennis Kucinich's more left leaning sibling.

[Droopy]

10. That's pretty damn radical

To what do you owe your radicalness? Or what radicalized you?

[Radical Activist]

14. Blame Saul Alinksy, Howard Zinn, and SEIU.

I became more liberal after college when I started reading people like the above and got to know some very smart left wingers left over from the 60's. I became a full blown radical due to Bush and his wars. It caused me to learn more about how things really work and reject all the conventional wisdom we are taught to believe.

[Droopy]

19. I don't know Saul or SEIU

But I've read Zinn and I think he is a treasure.

[Radical Activist]

20. I'm so thankful for Howard Zinn.

His writings have brought me a lot of ideas and inspiration.

Saul Alinksy wrote Reveille for Radicals and Rules for Radicals. His definition of what it means to be a radical is why I call myself one. He's also known as the father of modern community organizing techniques. He's worth checking out. It's a shame he gets so little recognition, but I suspect that is intentional.

3. To what do you owe your extraordinary persistence?

:think:

[Radical Activist]

6. My mother

didn't show me enough affection as a child, so I'm compensating. ;)

[autorank]

9. Well, that's better than decompensating. Good for you.

:toast: to 8 grand American.

[Radical Activist]

17. Thanks

:beer:

[Robb]

8. Would it surprise you to know

...I'm some 70-odd away myself? Odd co-inky-dink, no?

[Radical Activist]

11. Are you my long lost brother?

[Robb]

12. Nice of you to say

...but not that long. Average, I'd expect. :P

[Radical Activist]

15. hehe

ok that made me laugh

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. 8,000? That's it?

Dude, post more.

I'll flirt with you! :P

[Radical Activist]

16. oh yeah!

How many of your posts do you think are flirtations?

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Um.... well

I would break up like this:

45% flirtations
45% threadjacks
5% serious posts
And that last 5%.... just gibberish.

[Radical Activist]

21. Ok, I'm getting some food, but I'll be back.

No more questions?

[elshiva]

22. I don't think you could be more cooler, than you are now or can

you be?

[Radical Activist]

24. wow thanks

All of us can always be cooler tomorrow than we are today. :)

[elshiva]

26. Really? How DO you do it?

[cestpaspossible]

23. Why do we find numbers that end in zeros so significant?

[Radical Activist]

25. Because God loves zeros and the Bible says so.

Check Revelation and the sermon on the mount.

[Radical Activist]

27. Any more takers?

I'm very close

[Heidi]

28. How do you feel about Thomas Kinkade's "art"? (nt)

[Radical Activist]

31. yawn

Is that the guy who does all the motel paintings?

[Heidi]

32. He doesn't even do them entirely by himself.

His "assistants" do a good deal of the work and he signs it.

[Radical Activist]

44. How very lame.

Who was that PBS guy that had that show? We need him back.

yeeeaaahhhh...look at the happy little trees.

[Heidi]

46. Bob Ross.

He's dead now, I think. But I didn't really object to him. His program was kind of fun to watch, and he got a lot of people interested in painting.

[Wapsie B]

29. Why is the sky blue?

[Radical Activist]

33. In the interests of being fair and balanced

We're now going to have a conservative post on why the sky is pink and pretend that his statements are just as factual as saying the sky is blue.

[Wapsie B]

39. Congrats!

you're over the top!

[Radical Activist]

41. thanks!

[elshiva]

30. Do plants dream?

[Radical Activist]

34. Only spinach dreams

It dreams of one day being eaten by Dennis Kucinich, which rhymes with spinach. haha its late :)

[elshiva]

35. Kucinich probably eats a lot of spinach (hold the butter), he's a vegan!

Are you a vegan? I am a vegetarian.

[Radical Activist]

42. I eat vegetarian

most of the time, but I'm kind of half-assed about it sometimes. Its not easy to do in the midwest.

[Radical Activist]

36. Number 8,000!

yay!

[Heidi]

37. So . . .

what's it like? Do you feel any differently than you did pre-8000? Are you having a cigarette?

[Radical Activist]

40. I feel like a new man

Its great having an 8k cut

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Well, as usual, I'm too late to help you get to 8000 Posts!

43. Thanks!

[saltpoint]

45. Why weren't Hansel & Gretel's parents arrested for child-endangering?

The stepmother strong-armed the father to dump the two kids in the deep woods where surely wolves would devour them if they didn't starve to death first.

Now that just isn't very nice.

So why didn't the police come to their house and bust the door down like they do on the COPS show on Fox and arrest them?

[Radical Activist]

49. Because they lived in DuPage County Illinois

47. I'm working my way up to the 700 -club

you got me there. Hope you make 8,000 soon. woo hoo....what are you so radical activist about?

[Radical Activist]

48. i remember getting out of the 700 club...

good times, good times.
If you've ever read Reveille for Radicals by Saul Alinksy the first chapter gives his definition of a radical. That's me. I'm a radical because I believe in the ability of the people to govern themselves and work to make that happen.
Is that a little picture of you in your avatar?
