Well, not completely silent...

She remains annoyed to no end by the credentialing and convention floor rules, and I can't take issue with that. One party with 90 enrolled members had 9 delegates, after all- and she, being a bit more conspiracy minded than even I am, percieves a "plot to stop Nader" being involved in that. I believe partisans on all sides engaged in some shenanigans, and that a dispassionate analysis in the future- removed from the heat- may someday be needed.

Presently, however, Lorna's primary concern is getting the Message out. Said Message being that the dangerous threat of global warming has arrived, exacting damage as we speak, and is the Crisis of Crises now threatening extermination of tens of thousands of us.

She views that as the biggest priority. Soon I shall forward her latest on the lists.

Lorna was in Boston, BTW, while the Boston Social Forum took place- but she was at the Global Warming Conference, and what she learned there frightens me to the core.
