'Send Those Closet Socialists
To Cuba'
Surveyee casts doubt on currency of Humboldt Exchange
DUHC Hunting
By Nicholas Bravo
 The
following is an Internet
survey of public opinion by Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County
(DUHC). They asked for the opinions in particular of our local blogging
community through the friendly neighborhood Libertarian, Fred Mangels
(humboldtlib.blogspot.com).
The DUHCs seem to be concerned with the community perception of their
organization, and they ask for input on their future projects. Well, they
sure asked for it now!
DUHC Feedback Survey
"At the end of July the DUHC staff will be spending three days in
a strategic planning meeting. As we go into the meeting, we would like
your help and feedback assessing our work. Your input will help us understand
how we've been doing, and how we should continue in our work to dismantle
corporate rule in Humboldt County and beyond.
We really value the feedback of our members and supporters and we strive
to be an organization that is accessible to the larger community.
Please take a few minutes to fill out this online survey - it is easy
and should only take 5-10 mins of your time."
· What
types of actions on the local level do you think are most effective to
making Humboldt County more genuinely democratic and self-sufficient?
A: Banish the socialists.
· What kind of projects are
you involved in locally? Would you be interested in DUHC being involved
with the work you are doing on these projects?
A: Assisting various politicians
with winning seats in government. No, the DUHC and David Cobb have done
enough damamge.
· What groups would you like
to see DUHC work with in the future?
A: Hezbollah, Al-Qaida,
any other group being targeted by the U.S. Military.
· Do you use the Humboldt Exchange
Community Currency?
- If no, why not?
- If yes, what do you find most useful? How do you see this project expanding
and becoming more viable? And what are some criticisms you have as a user
of Community Currency?
A: No, it's worthless, and was created by
a known scam artist.
· What do you perceive to be
the greatest roadblocks to democracy in Humboldt County and how do you
think these threats are to be best addressed?
A: The DUHC is the greatest roadblock. Send
those closet socialists to Cuba where they'll feel right at home.
· Do
you think DUHC should invest time and energy into electoral politics through
a Political Action Committee?
- If so, what kind of campaigns?
- If not, why should we not engage on the electoral level?
A: Oh god, No! I think anyone associated with the DUHC and David Cobb
should have their right to vote taken away because they are not intelligent
enough to comprehend the issues.
· Do you think DUHC should
organize or have a role in civil disobedience?
- If so, what types of actions?
- If not, why?
A: Declare outright war on the United States
of America. Declare yourselves socialists and wage an open, armed, and
violent campaign against the country. Make threats you can and can't carry
out. Block all roads going in and out of Humboldt county and declare Humboldt
its own socialist nation. It can even use Phoenix Fhyre's funny money
as it's official currency. You can declare David Cobb your leader and
invite Fidel over for cakes and tea whilst the Humboldt people starve
to death in the streets.
· Is there anything else you
want to share with us in terms of feedback on our current work or ideas
for the future?
A: Study the United Soviet Socialist Republic,
come to terms with the fact that you are socialists and your ideas are
hogwash. Invite Ann Coulter to come deprogram you so you can start thinking
like Americans again. Course personally I'd pay mucho dinero or a wheelbarrow
of Fhyre's funny money to watch a Cobb/Coulter pay-per-view Thunderdome
battle.
