well ... a few years ago, in some journal or other, I noticed an
article on how depressives appear to be (statistically) better at
rational thought (according to someone's best efforts at quantifying
that), so maybe more depressives show up among the folk doing jobs for
which surplus rationality is an advantage ... some sort of
compensation, anyway.  Hmm.  Yes, that was the year after I was cured.
Of rationality that is ;-|

I must confess I'd tend towards sending the money FIRP's way and
remaining anarchic and disorganised.  It's easier to organise protests
that way ... having enough cash-flow to pay someone's salary offers a
soft target for malicious lawyers to attack when they feel like
silencing you before you've got the public's attention.

like dressing up as elves and handing out leaflets ?
<ducks and covers>

I don't have the costume (and it'd need to be warm), but
I'm sure I could manage another Saturday of leafletting ...

some of us are used to it already ;^>
