what they stand for: Act Now To Stop War and End Racism. They are a good group, and have organized a lot of protests, although I have to admit these protests seemed to have no effect whatsoever
The protests are never specific enough. These days, ANY protest is automatically mutated into an anti-irag-war and pro=palestine. The message shouldn't be so diluted. There are always like 10 different ideas and you're not really sure if you went for the right reason
But anywho, answer is great; they strive for equality in the world

Get the answermug. usually an indie movie or film. When this word is used, I tend to imagine that it is cheaper or free as opposed to when it's CALLED a movie or a flm.
Indie elitists use this term to sound cool, as do I.

1. Let's go watch the (insert film here) screening tonight.
2. I heard they're screening (insert film her) at (x location). Let's go watch.

Get the screeningmug. short for Guantanamo Bay
scary place where suspected "enemy combatants" are taken and then interrogated in order to determine whether they are terrorists or not.
this area is lawless; any fucking thing can happen. do the geneva conventions apply here? who knows?
a large percentage of detainees held are released much much later and labelled to be completely innocent. seems like they take just anybody.

for some reason, the clothes nick berg was wearing when he was decapitated are the uniforms from gitmo.

Get the Gitmomug. Something you say after you fuck up. This way, people will think you have actually succeeded when in fact you have failed so miserably your former supporters have crossed over.

Get the Mission Accomplishedmug. City by the pacific Ocean. We have 10 months of winter here and like two of summer.
Places of interest:
We have the Haight and Ashbury area, which really isn't what it used to be.
We have Chinatown, which is smelly and stuffy and crowded all the time. We have a great view, especially from Twin Peaks. We have the alcatraz (sp?) island, and the cable cars are pretty rad.

Get the san franciscomug. impossibly good-looking emokid. He is known most commonly as the frontman for Bright Eyes, but he has also fronted his later project Desaparecidos.
This guy is a genius, often tagged as a wunderkind (he started recording at 14) and channels his emotions into powerful lyrics emokidettes can relate to.
Actually, he is still sorta a kid. I went to a show of his when he was way younger and he was so tiny and kid-like it shocked me. I haven't seen him recently (he's gone too mainstream for my wallet) so hopefully he had finally hit puberty and start growing up.
If you like Bright Eyes, you will love Cursive, front by a member of Conor's former band Commander Venus Tim Kasher. Similar music, except I prefer Cursive

One thing that sets Conor apart from other musicians is his amazing voice. His voice wavers when he sings. It reconnects people to memories of crying and painful emotions and whatnot so after a few painful notes, you will be real fucking depressed. Go to one of his shows and you can feel the depression rolling off the crowd. No moshing here, kiddos, just crying.

Get the conor oberstmug. Orwellion concept.
A crime that you are guilty of because you are THINKING of doing something bad. (i.e. In 1984's Oceania, spending time alone is almost a crime because it's considered odd, and odd people are a threat to a stable environment such as theirs.)
also, see patriot act. (i.e. when you check anarchist cookbook out from the library or something, the gov might have the right to go into your home and tap your phone and computer. And it's all perfectly legal since you might be a terrorist.)
