Who is "we." *Every* movement that has ever existed or that is ever going to exist attracts innumerable fringes of one sort or another (and if it does not provide enough, the cops will always send infiltrating provocateurs). Marty's complaint is as silly as complaining that the rain wets one. Of course "we" will turn people off, just as we will get sand between our toes if we go to the beach. There will always be a Weatherman equivalent. There will always be a Spart equivalent. There will always be an X equivalent (X meaning whatever you think hurts most). If you can't do politics in that sort of climate, go study Sanskrit or take up gymnastics. Carrol
