hmm, actually such a gathering would involve a lot of planning and rehearsal.
Not a miracle at all, except in the sense that a wonderful
accomplishment is a miracle.

Perhaps the same is true of successful anarchist praxis.


being contrarian-minded today, I also want to add that Oedipa isn't
all that thrilled with it.

no name for it, was only demoralized.  She curtsied and fled." (p 107,
