[mobglob-discuss] too much olympic stuff on mobglob ?

[Bella]

Hi Julia (and everyone else),

Straw poll time !!

If there's an issue with me posting news about the anti-olympic movement,
please let me know. I would think that MOBGLOB, being a global justice
forum, would be interested in keeping up to speed on this local/global
issue since the mainstream media doesnt do accurate reporting.  The very
nature of this listserve is to share info on local and global justice
issues - of which the olympics (specifically the 2010 ones) are a major
issue.

The whole issue relates to corporatism, capitalism, environmental issues,
First Nations land issues, media propaganda, how our provincial gov't
spends our money, how the DTES is affected, etc.

I would suggest that anyone not wanting to know about the 2010 opposition
can self-censor (use the delete button). But in all fairness, I'd request
that we aim for a general concensus about posting olympic stuff on this
list.

Thoughts please, everyone?

Bella
