79. It's easy for us to feel like that. But imagine for the fun of it that

we had no computers....

Then it wouldn't be hard to imagine the millions going out into the streets, since there would be no other choice of getting the message out.

Nowadays, we have the luxury of choosing. We can voice our dissatisfaction in the streets or we can voice it online. The latter is much easier, although not nearly as effective in showing that the country is royally pissed at Bush. At some point we're going to have to turn our computers and do it the hard way.

We do have computers, though, and they're a great tool. Computers can be the mobilizing tool to get us into the streets at some point. They're already being used to organize what few peace marches we're seeing.
