GUEST,Barry Finn	BS: The future of protest. (25)	RE: BS: The future of protest.	11 Dec 04
I'd agree with dianavan that boycotts & general strikes are just a few of the powerfull tools in a protester's arsenal but when was the last time you can name an effective boycott & have we, in the US ever staged a general nation wide strike. Who could've stopped the massive protests against civil rights & the Viet Nam war? These days there just doesn't seem to be enough of the spirit, stomach or willingness to rise up to the task. Motivating people, IMHO is the 1st major step that we can't get past. Barry
