The Animal liberators have achieved much much more than the 'stop the war coalition' without marching. They target the investors and profiteers from animal experimentation, what about a campaign targetting the profiteers of war? hitting them where it hurts...IN THEIR WEDGE! |

The Michael Palin description is actually spot on.
Many people have realised that most of these groups are 'managed' and the sting is drawn from the various activists by making them march around and feel like they have done something when in reality nothing meaningful has happened.
Ofcourse what should be happening is boycotts. _________________

Why?

Because despite having 1.5 million marchers, they have failed to stop anything. _________________ http://paulstott.typepad.com/911cultwatch/ |
