me who said it. And its not intended as glib. My parents put their lives on the line to protect democracy in WW2. Much less is being asked of our generation.

Look - you have free elections in your country. a free press.

6 out of ten people don't avail themselves of the elections and the news media is owned by powerful corporations.

However they don't own the net. So theres never been a better time to organise and agitate.

Free electons and a free press - is your message to the world - these things aren't worth having?

If Al Quaeda can use modern techniques and take advantage of the liberality of the place to blow your country up - why not use these same things to build it into somewhere you're proud of.
