Subject: RE: BS: World Wide Peace Protest
I agree, sIx, but it seems too many have lost their way. We need a Voice, someone who can unite and inspire.

Here's a thought/question: is it possible people are too dissipated because of the internet; the insulariity it affords one, plus the overwhelming amount of orgs. one can belong to online? It takes much less effort to sign an online petition and send emails than to march in protest; I do so every week. Could it be it has lessened the effect of our protests? If so, how do we unite those efforts to bring about real change?

So far, the only way I can see to really make any changes in the near future, barring a revolution, is to make sure as many people as possible get out and vote next Fall. I am concentrating my efforts on that.
