Oh, we're so very sophisticated, posting diaries and messages here and on other sites. But what ELSE are we doing?
Now, I'm certain there are people here who HAVE done more, but I suspect that the majority---like myself---have not.
You know, I sometimes think that the internet has done more ill than good. I will not launch into a tirade about the blogosphere, the nuts on both sides, the trafficking in "facts" that are not facts at all, etc. But I remember breathing fresh air as I protested against Desert Storm, the Florida non-count, and NAFTA.
But now? I literally mail my dissent in, having become a web potato.
The wingnuts are stupid and backward, but maybe, just maybe, that's to their advantage, i.e., they actually GO to places! They (gasp!) SHOW UP!
