"Abbie Hoffman, Ralph Nader, Gloria Steinem, Saul Alinsky, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, Bobby Seale - these are the heroes I've secretly revered for years, but haven't felt safe to proclaim my feelings for, being mired in a ironic complacency that was so de rigueur in the '90s. Now that one of them is a serious presidential candidate I feel the tide has turned and it's time to leap out of the closet with gusto. Thank you Portland for giving me yet another reason to embrace that compassionate geekiness that I've hidden within for far too long. Viva la Geek Nation!" Russ Furstor
