In most places, the only time when you'll see something interesting, exposing the governement's expoits is late at night when ratings are low and noone is watching anyway. And even if someone sees it, the most common reaction is "oh well" and they sink deeper into their couch. Because, what's the point? The peace movements in the 60's did accomplish something, but very little, and look at the numbers they had. Lots and lots of people protesting.... So what CAN be done? The only thing that can be done, for sure, is to work on your own consciousness, and educate yourself, and don't fall into the same traps like many others. If everyone can do that, we're good. Offcourse, everyone CAN'T do that. But still, an induvidual has somewhat of an influence over his environment, and by changing Self, one changes his immidiate environment, and sometimes more. But is it really enough? It's hard, very hard, and saddening, that when you know that even if you have a million people protesting, nothing is going to change. But maybe it is in exactly that line of thought in which the fuel lies for the passivity of today's masses. I recently stumbled upon this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2397496401234089687&q=secret&hl=en from 1987, the comments of which seem surprisingly actual. That same day I visited a newssite in which i found the prime minister of my country giving a bush-like speach about war on terror and taking away the feeding grounds of terrorism, which kindof ticked me off. It's like the bushitian stuff is a virus spreading all over the world. So what I did was, I sent the above video to the main tv station in our country, telling them that it's a good reminder of how power can corrupt in situations like this. The program manager accepted it and forwarded it to some of their news redactions. Not sure if it will ever air, probably not, but at least it's a small effort anyone can do to help inform the public. (not that they'll care... but do it anyway ;) )[/quote]
