Posted by FoM on August 16, 2000 at 07:01:31 PT By Anne-Marie O'Connor, Times Staff Writer  Source: Los Angeles Times   Alternative convention hits a collective nerve with those who feel their issues are overlooked by the major parties. It might not be the next "Survivor" or "How to Marry a Millionaire," and it may not have stolen the scene from the Democratic National Convention or the nightly network news. But the alternative Shadow Convention packed fervent crowds into a heat-roiled auditorium Tuesday at Patriotic Hall, where speakers--from yippie co-founder Paul Krassner to essayist Alexander Cockburn and Rep. Maxine Waters--seemed to have hit a collective nerve with Los Angelenos who feel their issues are overlooked by the major parties.
