btw to respond to the comment about how if they didn't make them someone else would: the components they make that are essential for the planes, are only made by 2 companies in the world. one is the U.S and one is Brimar.
plus it is important to us that a campaign is local and sustained in order for it to be effective (as noam chomsky says). In this way we are reclaiming our own community and what is made in it. We want to say NO to all war. Not just when there is a big news story about a specific war. We live in an age where war in continuous and our fight against it should also be.
This company is on our doorstep, in our community and we don't want it. If all communities and peoples work together in the name of love to overcome oppresion and torture of others there will be no more wars..sorry i nearly quoted bill hicks then but thought i'd just hippy-out...
to be honest though i find discussions of this nature really difficult, flippant, frustrating and often vulgar on internet forums. I was simply telling people about the ride, and offering information. If people wish to speak about such issues I suggest they do so face to face, with factual information. I have a really interesting document about Brimar if anyone would like to borrow it please let me know
