34. All people whine. Not all people protest a war, march in a city
surrounded by troops, with a transportation system probably deliberately put down and among strong voiced opponents. But make the march, make the war, your area of protest. Not the media.

The whole world both wants and deserves to have their song sung out of a little black box that is televised throughout the world. Its the most powerful medium in the world. You want your cause, this cause to be special? So do they.

In the 60's and 70's the friends and family members of those in the streets were dying like maggots in a place called Nam'. They were hanging from trees, bound and butchered by bigots. There were just as many things wrong, very wrong, with this country then as now. They didn't have time to whine b/c they were too scared.

Sure, the media could have, and we can even say they should have, offered more time. Today they didn't. So what?

If you're really committed, work for it again tomorrow and the next day and the next.
