Saturday August 27

Ten or eleven of us throughout the hour. Only today I returned from the Tarsands Action in Washington, in which about 50 people a day are getting arrested to try to convince the US government not to permit a pipeline from Alberta's tar sands to Texas. The Tarsands folks spent much effort to present the message clearly and to attract publicity. Here in Corvallis we do less of that. Is there something for us to learn? I am not sure.
