We were all handing out ANWA fliers that talked about one of my favorite themes, working on grassroots organizing instead of street protests. Cubagirl and I got into a discussion about the flier, about the protest, about the movement. I ll spare you the blow by blow, most of you longtime readers know where I stand on this. Suffice it to say that we got along great. Of course, that s to be expected, we re both East Coasters.
People talk about the East Coast as being mean and the West Coast as being laid back.
This is true. The flip side of that same coin is that the East Coast is intense and the West Coast is shallow. The East Coast is hostile and the West Coast is friendly. The East Coast is honest and the West Coast is phony. Of course these are generalizations but there is a good deal of truth to them.
