[Seattle-editorial] feature proposal: IMC birthday

Sat Nov 23 19:19:58 PST 2002

Yay! -- great feature, jonathan, and much needed!!

only 3 comments:

1 --  the subtitle is a little too militant for my own tastes, but i'd let 
it go if others are into it.  i like the historical tip of the hat aspect 
(Woody Guthrie's guitar, or?).... what if we altered it slightly to say 
"These Machines Kill Facism"  -- in which case, I'd have no problem at all 
with it.

2 -- seek out  (separate words, first paragraph)

3 --  should we add in a link to that very first posting:   "Click here for 
the original Indymedia newswire post, and sign the 'birthday card'!"  -- or 
some such.  people wrote some beautiful, thoughtful prose last year 
regarding the IMC:

Thumbs up!!!!
