In response to Liberal=Snake In The Grass posted by pink101:
Yes. I understand what you're saying. I know my history (that was one of my three minors, remember).

BUT

my world view is a bit different than yours. I'm interested in what I, as an individual, can do to affect positive change (and, hopefully, inspire others to do the same). Just talking about what is happening does not, **for me,** open the door to individual opportunity for action.
.
Think of it this way: one of the most powerful forms of advertising is word of mouth. New ideas get spread because people spread them, sometimes one person at a time. Politicians use word of mouth. So do impoverished entrepeneurs who need business.
.
You have an idea about what is wrong. You spread that idea, gradually, through communicating it to others. I have ideas about how I as an individual need to act if I want to counter what is happening. The two idea sets, and methods of responding, are complementary, not competing.

peace and love,
Paper Turtle
