Issue 1. William Upski Wimsatt
Issue 1. William Upski Wimsatt: That isn't Billy Wimsatt, by the way. He is a member of the League of Pissed of Voters, an organzation Upski helped found. This is the first interview anyone ever did for Dork, we didn't even have a website when we asked him. He just believed in what we were doing. That was pretty cool of him. Here's a sample from the conversation:
“For me, I think the key ingredient is to keep at it and not get discouraged, you know. We only have to look as far as Florida in 2000 to see what a couple hundred people can do at the right place and the right time.” William Upski Wimsatt is optimistic about the potential for progressive social change despite the current conservative reign. Every political set back is an opportunity to educate and inspire the disappointed and ignored. Persistence is one of his talents. While most young people are contemplating moving to another country or coming to the conclusion that maybe apathy isn't so bad, Upski is more enthusiastic than ever.
