"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

There are several reasons why I'm guessing that, at most, there are about thirty 1Ls at GW who would be interested in the National Lawyers Guild and only about ten of those would be interested in becoming really involved. GW is remarkably corporate, even for a big top-tier school. So there's not going to be much interest in leftist organizations. "Public interest" is about as much as you get, and that term is about making me ready to chew my hand off at the wrist. Public interest seems to mean providing shoddy legal advice to poor people while expecting them to be outright deferential. Seriously, the classist attitudes here are incredible. I'm not about public interest, I'm about revolution.As such, I should not have given out so goddamn many Disorientation Guides. Those things are expensive, even if we can get them for free from the National Office, and I shouldn't have handed them out like I was one of those freaky kids always foisting handbills on Capitol Hill, Seattle, passersby. No, I should have saved them for later. Because only thirty people in the class really would have deserved one, and I'm guessing only about half of those thirty actually came by. I expect that at least twenty of the poor blue books have already ended up in the trash.
