	There is a ULT branch in New York City which has a bookshop, a library,
an active schedule of meetings, advertises in major newspapers (but
never charges for public meetings), and where they recite rehearsed
pre-written speeches with rehearsed questions and rehearsed answers (if
you ask a question that is not part of the script, you will get thrown
out). I find it hard to believe that an anarchical organization can run
such a thing, or that the State or City of New York would allow such an
organization to own land and buidlings.
