The "what do we do" question is crucial.
Nobody can possibly deliver anything without addressing this issue.
The expectation seems to be the stumbling block, the point of the disconnect. Some naturally see the futility, in as much as they quote the massive anti war demos "and yet they still went to war", the attraction and safety of hopelessness is immensely powerful.
My response is simple. They went to war on our vote, not mine of course but 22% anyway. That was when most were ignorant, most didn't know. So, imagine when everyone knows. Who will vote for them again. That's the "what do we do" question answered right there. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

Just remember the whole history of civil disobedience, general strikes, tax strikes, military dissertions, etc. 'They' only appear so powerful, because we imagine ourselves so weak. This is a lie. Their power relies on our ignorance and compliance. Once we have critical mass, then we remove our co-operation and their power crumbles. Simple. Those that say other wise don't know their history.
Take the fuel protests as an example. It just shows what a relative handful of people exercising their lawful right to drive around slowly can achieve. |

This is the kind of discussion that should take place on mountain trek or windy moor not an open forum :0 _________________ 'Come and see the violence inherent in the system.

Yes i also want to volunteer. Gathering email addresses and distributing information can be done without the megaphones and shouting.
There are possibilities with setting up stalls at fairs / craft markets / and festivals.... _________________ www.freecycle.org
