Oh, Lizzie.

You know, lots of people listen to Show of Hands. You were never going to change the world by ranting about a folkie band on a folkie messageboard. If you genuinely want to make a difference, you need to get away from the computer screen and take real life action.

Although your logic utterly eludes me at times, it's clear that you're an intelligent woman. You are smart enough to know that there are organisations - political, voluntary, etc - who are crying out for impassioned and dedicated people (like you?) to get involved and make a real difference.

Ranting on a messageboard - well, that's all it is, whether it's here or on the BBC. Sound any fury, signifying nothing. But getting on with MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN isn't always about indulging your anger with a tantrum, or being a public champion, or being in the media spotlight - sometimes it's about stuffing envelopes or putting stuff through people's doors. Not preaching to the converted.
