there are many of us who are new to indymedia, we don´t understand the slang or the jargon.

Has it not occured to many of these contributors that ANARCHY might be attracting attention? I´m not stupid, its obvious to me and many of my friends [hard-working ordinary people] that many of the usual leftwing alternatives have failed. Its obvious to me that genetics and other science have changed the landscape. Its obvious to me that if Bush and Ahern and the others are talking about "globalisation" that means the planet and the planet is not only Europe or American. I mean what do ordinary hardworking muslims make of the propaganda being thrown at them.

What will their children do in the future?
Who will they blame for the destruction of their family values? of their traditions?
And Africa? And India? And Asia?
I have been reading a little now on IMC ireland, i have gone to the other sites and surfed the net.
But I´m sure I´m not alone when I say can´t you use more simple english please?
What is a zappatista?
Who is MArcus? is this a cult?
It seems that these Reclaim the streets people do more than just have parties but who are they?
I am sick of trusting corrupt politicians and I don´t want to vote Green but I feel the Greens have many solutions. I´m sure I´m not alone.
Come on anarchists can´t you speak our "lingo"?
