Subject: RE: RIAA wants the Internet shut down
Hound dog howlin' so forlorn;
Laziest dog that's ever been born!
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn,
And he's just too tired to move over.

With the world in the quandary that it's in, I'm always eager to hear suggestions as to what we as individuals citizens can do in the effort (that at least some of us are trying to make) to further the slow and laborious march of humankind toward civilization. I hear a lot of howling. It's easy to howl. But it actually takes an accumulation of brain cells to come up with a plan. I have a few possibilities in mind, but I'm always eager to hear others.

Regarding that wall that we progressives are, so far, unsuccessful in being able to push over, but keep trying to chip away at, what I would still like to hear from GUEST, is a practical suggestion on what he/she thinks we should do. Said GUEST hasn't made any suggestions at all so far. But from what has been posted, it would appear that he/she wants us to gather our ordnance together and try to blow up the wall, or that we should all run at it at full speed and butt it with our foreheads.

Considering the military might at the disposal of the moneyed interests, trying to blow up the wall seems like a great way of winding up, as they say, "hoist with our own petard." And the second approach seems like nothing more than a insidious plot to increase the sales of aspirin.

Plan. Let's hear a sensible, workable plan.
