In Reply to: I can't beleive it, in America. Flashbacks to blackshirted jackbooted goons! posted by The Killer Piglet on April 19, 2002 at 21:09:44:
Look, guys, its all very well to debate this stuff on this and any other forum. It is in fact, a good thing to do.But, in our sound-bite democratic republic (I record sound bites for a living), it is all too easy for the debate to
turn into deulling BS.If you want to do something productive, write your Congressman, if you happen to know who he is, and the two Senators from your state. (Yes, you have two, and they both work for you.) Believe it or not, they are actually looking for input from you. It keeps them in office to know what you are thinking. In the abscence of any direct communications from you, they rely on what lobbyists tell them, and some pseudoscientific crap that focus groups and marketing professionals pipe up their butts. And, they pay for it!
When was the last time you wrote a letter to one of these elected officials? For that matter, when was the last time you voted? In a school board election? In a City Council election? In anything at all?
We have, I fear, become a society where people would rather bitch than take action, would rather find an enemy in "another" group of American citizens, than to look to the common good. IF WE DO NOT, AS CITIZENS, START THINKING FOR OURSELVES (F*CK THE MEDIA, LEFT AND RIGHT), AND TAKING ACTION ACCORDINGLY, THEN WE RUN THE SAME RISK AS GERMANY IN THE THIRTIES! We do not need a "Great White Father" of any stripe, we just need to re-assert our roles as the stock-holders in this great experiment!
Unfortunately, we just might have to get up off of our butts and actually exert some small amount of effort to do so. Ironically, the effort required is less than ever. We don't even need pens.
