I think that those who attended the BSF agreed that "another world is possible", and that it existed for the duration of the forum.
However, on Thursday when I returned for the Progressive Democrats of America conference (about which more later) I re-entered the real world by entering the Cage. It was chilling!
I don't think the word crypto-Fascist is exaggerated. See http://www.alternet.org/story/19395.
I'm sure there were other CPNN regulars who were in Boston last week. Let's hear your impressions.

At the Forum, almost everything touched on the culture of peace, although only a few speakers linked their talks to the UN initiative, prompting a leader of the French Peace movement to remark he was disappointed that the culture of peace was not better represented at the Forum. The response to CPNN was positive, but most people were unaware of its existence.  Next time there should be culture of peace events, pins and t-shirts, as well as the CPNN cards and flyers that we gave out.
