It seems like the causes of the clashes that I ventured about Christians and “Dissenters” have proven right. It doesn’t look like these people have worked regularly in autonomist/libertarian environments. What I see is that they have approached the dissent network as you would approach any big organisation to which you try to form part, seeing it as a hierarchical structure to which you make demands and/or offers. They/we have also approached it as a group with a certain identity, this identity being one that naturally will not be welcomed by dissent because of the Churches’ History and histories.
More Biking
C. says he sees no difference in the last 5 years or more that he’s been biking to work. But I so si it, and a big one too.
Potholes
I used my bike today for the first time in a year. I find myself looking at the pavement more than the traffic, it is unconscious but I guess it is because of what caused my accident –
Democracy Models – Chomsky
I got a copy of a lecture that Chomsky gave once. It is not dated. For reasons of copyright and boredom I am not copying the whole thing here
Clashes
There seems to be some kind of clash between Dissent! people and these Christians… I see more a cultural clash than anything else. It is not easy to simply start working on a consensus based structure with no structure whatsoever, specially if you come from a hierarchical background – which we all do.
Hospital 2
Every time I see L play with his mum’s mobile, I think of how different childhoods mine and the next generation’s are. I took me fifteen years to see a computer for the first time of my life, and a few more to see a mobile phone.
Hospital 1
M* and her son are lucky that she can afford to be with his child all day, although there is a high price to pay, not in money, for that luxury.
Hospital
Last time I am interviewed by Caroline and Zara in the lunchtime show. Stayed for a few hours to cover the Studio Manager shift and, while doing so, M* calls from hospital because her son has had an asthma attack.

Tube 07
Last day of Tube Radio. Says O. that I have worked on the content quite well, and he is probably right; says Jose that a program like mine is un-swallow-able and he is probably more right.
