Wish I'd been there to see it (and get that beer you owe me). ;o) The notes do - as you say - give better context on the slides. One thing that springs to mind on 'activists are everyday people' is how often many people don't actually see themselves, or label themselves, as activists. During a spell doing street canvassing with Greenpeace in the UK a few years ago, I was struck by the negative connotations people associated with the word. Many people put their memberships and associations on their CV's, but very few would want to say they were an 'activist'. TV images of G8 rioting has put pay to that... Keep up the great work, and fantastic news about the 501(c)3. Ken Great, enlightening and informative presentation, Erik. Wish I’d been there to see it (and get that beer you owe me). ;o)
