The Bottled Water Lie - Democracy Now

Memo from Robyn

"I like to complain and do nothing to make things better. I like to blame my parents generation for coming so close to social change then giving up after a few successful efforts by the media and government to deface the movement by using the Mansons and other hippie representatives as propoganda examples on how they were nothing but unpatriotic, communist, satanic, inhuman diseases. And in turn the Baby Boomers became the ultimate conforming, yuppie hypocrites a generation has ever produced."

--Kurt Cobain

Coop Bike Tour of Berkeley

So many field trips, so little time. How about a bike tour of Berkeley's coops? This one put on by the cooperatives themselves only stops at the popular ones near Downtown BART. Perhaps we should organize our own.
