Anyone a member of Drinking Liberally?
Recently this young woman who is the living incarnation of Reese Witherspoon in "Election" has been DEMANDING that we DO THINGS during our meetings... write letters, give presentations, stage mock arguments, etc.

I am totally opposed to this. I just want to drink beer and shoot the shit.

How do I combat this? :shrug:

2. Move the location to a topless bar
But I guess some folks might argue that wouldn't be very liberal. Probably more expensive than your current location too.

3. Has anyone seen 'Mickey Finn?'
In the movie The Bank Dick, W. C. Fields gets the bartender to slip chloral hydrate to a bank examiner.

5. What a buzz kill!
The name is DRINKING Liberally, not Write Letters Liberally!

Mock arguments while drinking? Sounds like a recipe for disaster!

6. I'm curious about his orgnaization
Have you been involved a while? What do you think so far? Doesn't sound like fun if every chapter is headed like the woman you describe.

Perhaps some other DUers could share their experiences too...

7. It's really fun... you just hang out and chat... until now.
This takeover is a new thing, within the last week. She's not the head of the chapter, she's the head of the chapter's girlfriend. :eyes:

8. Could you point her in the direction of an organization that's less social and more activist?
Ya know "We are not the driods you are looking for. Go bother Food Not Bombs" (or whoever)
