Re: [Nettime-nl] Reminder: Media Squares - On the new forms of social protest and their media - Friday Sept. 30, 10.30 - 17.00, De Balie, Amsterdam

[kees <keesstad@xs4all.nl>]

Ik parafraseerde eigenlijk de baas van de tent, toen de krakers van
Schijnheilig laatst om de hoek in elkaar geslagen werden. Maar als je de
krakerts maar van ver genoeg haalt, zijn ze kennelijk ineens
programmamateriaal ipv. lieden om je over te verkneukelen als hun arm
gebroken wordt. Verder vind ik buitenlanders erg leuk en kunnen er niet
genoeg rondlopen.

Theo heeft gelijk dat hij op zijn gezondheid let. Maar misschien kunnen
de mensen die het niet meer kunnen opbrengen om zich druk te maken, wat
middelen schuiven naar lieden die dat wel doen (en meestal ver weg van
de gehip en -hype rond het Leidseplein, bijvoorbeeld hier:
http://www.globalinfo.nl/Nieuws/crisisoverleg-met-vrije-bond.html
of hier: http://www.2dh5.nl/index.html?art_id=36&vlag1=1&vlag2=0

Daar hebben ze namelijk veel zin en nul geld en zonder druktemaken wordt
het ook niks.

Kees
