I HAVE picked up a lot more, I just haven't written about them. The stories I could tell!

I respect him as well. In fact I respect most of the staff members there at the Org. I believe that they really believe that they are working for the good of the planet. This sometimes creates quite a conflict in me when I'm picketing. I try to resolve this internal conflict by reminding myself that I'm picketing THE ORGANIZATION and not the individual members.

Yes, I have hope. That's why I'm out there.
