Reply #22: Dare I humbly submit some ideas - for "non-pro" media blasting also?

GOD! WE NEED TO PUSH THIS!!! WITH ALL OUR MIGHT!!!!!!!!!

You can do it yourself, as a citizen watchdog, to help enlighten and inform your fellow citizens. You can do it

1) in EVERY grocery checkout line.
2) at EVERY visit to the dry cleaners.
3) at ANY office watercooler in existence.
4) ANY time you're pumping INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE GASOLINE at the self-serve. You can BET the guy at the next pump will have noticed, and will have become pissed-off about, the increasingly high prices, and will be open to this. Take that one to the bank.
5) at ANY neighborhood gathering, or across any backyard fence.
6) on ANY line for movie tickets, or admission.
7) on ANY line inside the movie theater - at the snack bar.
8) on ANY drop-off/pick-up line at school, PTA meeting, Mothers' Club, Fathers' Club, committee meeting, or even a parent-teacher conference.
9) at ANY retail counter where you have the chance to interact briefly with a) other customers or b) the salesperson or checkout counter person.
10) at any burger joint, restaurant, drive-through, fast-food place.
11) in the waiting room of ANY doctor's or dentist's office, emergency room, OR health clinic. GUARANTEED there'll be a captive audience there, and they may have a TV monitor on - about which you can make openly-voiced "casual comments."
12) in line waiting for your turn with the bank teller (many banks have TV monitors on, all day, too. Heck, even my dog's vet does), or if you're waiting with a couple of other people for your turn at the ATM.

Frankly, ANY situation in which you're IN LINE, WAITING TO BE SERVED for WHATEVER reason. ESPECIALLY if there's a kill-the-boredom TV on to keep everyone company. You'll be with a captive audience. We all wind up eavesdropping on other people's conversations in these situations anyway! It's just human nature. Spread your disgruntlement. Foment discord. Aggravate the other guy's discontent with our so-called "leaders" and the shit-ass job they're doing. Indeed, if ANYONE within earshot of you performed this poorly on THEIR jobs, would they even still be employed? AND - in this day and age, when everyone is more stressed-out than ever, and probably at least a little pissed-off at how shitty things have become in this country, and besides, everybody hates having to wait, anyway, DON'T LOSE THIS SOLID-GOLD OPPORTUNITY!!! SEIZE IT AND PUT IT TO WORK FOR YOU, AND FOR ALL OF US AMERICAN HOSTAGES (because - take THIS to the bank, too, that's EXACTLY what we are)!!!!!!

If we DON'T exploit this and other opportunities to take this regime down (especially when the numbers are tilting more and more decisively in OUR favor), we're fools, and we deserve what we get from Hurricane george and his greedy, mercenary, selfish, short-sighted, incompetent pals.

The bushies play hardball. It's time we did, too.

I apologize for being annoying, nagging, preachy, or whatever (if you think that, you're probably correct, sorry...) and I do NOT mean to toot my own horn by reposting this. Just seems damned important to me, and I know this stuff works. Just as the flood waters and storm surges ate away at the levees unseen from below, that's how WE can be against this HORRENDOUSLY CRIMINAL REGIME. The "usual suspects" who COULD do this professionally are not. Maybe they're afraid to, for fear of retaliation or "swift-boating" from the vindictive ones with a lock on the power in Washington. Maybe they've actually been threatened to keep a lid on this or else. Or perhaps they're simply overwhelmed by the scale of the crisis they're trying to cover.

So that means WE'VE got to take matters into our own hands, and grab the steering wheel from the idiots, incompetents or drunks in the driver's seat. Push 'em aside and get the job done OURSELVES.
