"Your story checks out?" Wow. Dealing with the Fed is making me paranoid.
Someone came into our office on Friday when I wasn't around, asking to volunteer in the disaffiliation campaign.
I'd seen him before, giving away free Fed stuff in a place that SFU insists that everyone has to have a vendor's permit. He wouldn't leave. I asked him if he was an SFU student. He said he was. I asked him what department hes was in. He said 'sociology.' (I graduated from that program). I asked him who his profs were. He balked, and said 'actually I'm from Thompson Rivers - I'm on the CFS Exec.'
Turns out I'd met him before in September at the meeting from hell.
Anyway. I read the Caelie's article. I liked it. It was concise and proved its point that the CFS was no good. I (heart) concision. This said, it seemed overly targeted on radical students in light of its claims. If the CFS is useless, this makes it ineffective across the board, regardless of political stripe. I didn't find that her article sufficiently demonstrated how the Fed was bad for radicals in particular.
Love the Upping the Anti by the way. I really liked the trans and anti-racism articles in the last one.
