As Well As Disobedient, Fluxus, Humorous, Intelligent, And Situationist
Through the grapevine I hear of problems some have with Act Now to Stop War & End Racism (A.N.S.W.E.R.) This morning on W.B.A.I I listened to a discussion about the New York Times, ironically, accusing United For Peace and Justice of not supporting civil disobedience.
Even Taylor Meade--Andy Warhol superstar, downtown nightclub denizen, and raconteur--the evening of March 22, 2003, the day of a big anti-war march down Broadway from Times Square to Washington Square Park, says, "The anti-war movement is redundant!" Poet Frank Sherlock wittily replied, "Maybe but only because war is so redundant!"
I have only witnessed increasing joy and savvy in the anti-war movement since the semi-legal march in New York on Saturday February 22, 2003. Unfortunately the rancor and hatred from pro-war press and public is increasingly vociferous.
In spite of comments to the contrary what I witnessed near Rockefeller Center last Thursday, March 27, 2003 was a terrific expression of democracy incorporating art, carnival, comedy, poetry, and philosophy to critique the United States’ war on terrorism in Iraq.
More than 200 people were arrested for symbolically dying on 5th Avenue in front of Rockefeller Center, ground zero of U.S. corporate media. Several hundred more people gathered in front and near the center to protest, not only the war in Iraq, but media coverage of it. The demonstration was, for lack of a better word, organized by the M27 Coalition, because many participants heard about the event from National Public Radio the night prior, as well as various other sources. Furthermore, the last several years of the growing anti-corporate globalization movement has informed the current anti-war movement--loosely affiliated affinity groups gather to create a critical mass of dissent.
The inability to identify a leader always infuriates police and especially the press. There is no one to blame nor to soundbite. For example, I travelled to the march from Brooklyn with John Coletti, unaffiliated with any group. He learned about the action on the radio. He spent 22 hours in jail. He's just this person who opposes U.S. military intervention in Iraq.
The following 13 photographs document some of what I observed.

These lines are still a mystery for now, but we'll explain them soon. Now we'll start working within the main function, where favoriteNumber is declared and used. The first thing we need to do is change how we declare the variable. Instead of
Posted by: Abacuck on January 18, 2004 11:33 PMNote first that favoriteNumbers type changed. Instead of our familiar int, we're now using int*. The asterisk here is an operator, which is often called the "star operator". You will remember that we also use an asterisk as a sign for multiplication. The positioning of the asterisk changes its meaning. This operator effectively means "this is a pointer". Here it says that favoriteNumber will be not an int but a pointer to an int. And instead of simply going on to say what we're putting in that int, we have to take an extra step and create the space, which is what does. This function takes an argument that specifies how much space you need and then returns a pointer to that space. We've passed it the result of another function, , which we pass int, a type. In reality, is a macro, but for now we don't have to care: all we need to know is that it tells us the size of whatever we gave it, in this case an int. So when is done, it gives us an address in the heap where we can put an integer. It is important to remember that the data is stored in the heap, while the address of that data is stored in a pointer on the stack.

The first thing we'll do is find the project we've been working on and open it up in Project Builder. In the file, we'll start right at the top and work our way down. Under the line:
