Someone whom
you've never seen before and may never see again and who lives across the
country from you is a comrade in the struggle, someone you can go out to supper
with, buy a drink for, call by first name, talk with about what's in the news
in his or her province. I was walking on the sidewalk downtown Saturday night,
someone recognised me, and in a few minutes I was driving her car (to help with
parking).

brothers and sisters; Conservatives don't do that, but the feeling exists.
If you have an interest in politics, think seriously about going to a
convention.
