Re: Carbusters - Journal of the Carfree Movement?

Hi again,

Despite what Wikipedia adds, "Journal" indeed sounds first and foremost 
academic, which is another reason why I disagree with it.

We need something to hook people.

As a modern, dynamic anti-Nazi with a sense of humour, I would 
definitely pick up "Hitlerbusters - The Not Saving Hitler's Brain* 
Magazine" before "Hitlerbusters - A Journal of the Anti-Nazi Movement"

So, in short, go with both!    Randy Chatterjee  Vancouver, Canada    On 8 Jul 2008, at 12:18, Jean Pierre Wilmotte wrote:
