seems like young people today just sit around chat boards and whine about the activists...

if you don't feel like helping change our current dismal situation, at least stop discouraging those who do want things to get better...

America was built on revolution....and bush* and his minions will not give up power if you all just sit and whine....and YOU will be killed as a draftee in the upcoming and current bush wars* if you won't take action, or at least support and encourage those brave Americans who do take action...

read about the activists in Chicago...they changed the whole country...got up on the bandshell and took down the American flag in protest as the cops attacked them, and raised a bloody shirt...fought for their lives...poets, singers, artists...everyone helped....

Martin Luther King didn't get Civil Rights in America by whining about things...he stood up and protested...that's how it changed...


at the Democratic Convention 1968, there was creative protest, including the Youth International Party (YIPPIES), nominating a PIG for their candidate...now if only young people today would get creative and get involved...protesting can be creative and make an impact...
