1. I wish every activist could go and see this entire program

I think that the program looks pretty good, with a range of topics running the gamut from welfare to softcore animal rights. The highlight, however, is the underlying theme. I'd call it, "Taking Action for Animals: Maintaining Civility with Your Peers in the Public Eye". There are some folks on that list that sincerely DO NOT like each other, and the infighting between some of those organizations is huge. However, you'll likely never see it in print, nor hear them speak of it in any form of mixed company. Our political party could learn a lot from them.
