[Seattle-editorial] Re.Proposed Article for Front Page Features

[anarch3m]

Why not direct the reader to the extensive literature on smart mobs as well--nyt, wired, anderberg...

This would be usefull.  Also to use in iother places D.C., U.K. and also Aust is on to it.,

P.S. there will soon be a global feature, I am hoping this concept catches on, we have some sea wire posts about doing some actions for bush this way.

Unfortunately the discussion on banners-at-other-times-and-locations versus upset-the-meetings-of-bush-and-locals is a discussion that is not in the public record in any "quotable" or news worthy way.

That is the REAL NEWS and we can't cover it!!!
