Another March and Why I Ain't Marchin' Anymore - Unless People are going to a bar afterwards

So after sitting through a meeting on Saturday where the Staten Island march for Eric Garner was raised to the level of the most important civil rights issue of our time - and you were basically supporting racism if you were not there - as about 7 million people weren't - including a few million black people and probably about 35,000 black NYC teachers - I will take this time to reiterate why I ain't marchin' anymore - though I never did much marchin' at any point. BECAUSE THEY DO LITTLE GOOD AND ARE BASICALLY FEEL GOOD EVENTS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FRUSTRATED.

And I am not frustrated - I just start building stuff in my garden or go to the gym - which I am about to do - when I feel frustrated.

Except for the left so-called vanguard political entities. They love marches and always try to get the mass organizations they work in to support any march they can. Why? Because they can get their troops out to sell their newspapers - since most people don't pay attention to these groups  - marches are their chance to shine.

Well, there is another march this Saturday - for the climate. I actually think that the more people who march, the worse the climate will get from all that heavy breathing and stamping and speechifying.

But I might go just to hang with people I like - as long as I get a beer out of it at the end of the day.

Please forward this message widely!
