We are the voice, we are the pulse,
we can not sit back and let a Woodward and/or Berstein "break this case" in mainstream media. It has to come from us. We can have passion, anger, questions, but our discourse must be above the opposition. We must have logic and reason and the belief that what we are doing and are saying will make a difference. We must hold together and support each other, even as we reach out for more to understand us. We must not allow those who already doubt to simply brush us away.

One mosiquito is an annoyance. Thousands of mosiquitos can pretty much take a grown man down. Find your message, effectively pound your message to all you already have, and to others as well. Convince one or two friends or aquaintenances to attend a local rally or if possible, the 6th protest.

Do not allow yourself to get swept away in what could-have-been or should-have-been or think that if-only someone would take charge. You take charge. Be instrumental in shaping tomorrow.

Who will stand up for democracy?

3. That's the spirit....
Woodward and Berstein themselves were the result of the much larger movements of ordinary people. Start with a little Civil Rights Movement, add the Anti-War Movement, stir in a little Chicago '68, season with a little Rock and Roll and BOOM. Before you know it, even punk ass Washington Post cub reporters are growing their hair over their collars and mis-trusting the government.

Celebrities, reporters, lawyers, politicians, ...all a racket to make everyone sit back, get popcorn, and watch somebody "famous" fight your battles for you. Ptui on all that.

I'll stand for Democracy.

The last time it changed and defined my life and I've got one more good shot in me (maybe even two more...).

4. btw, Will's doing an absolutely awesome job.... but I sense that
some are just impatiently waiting for answers, and that may be too much for one person to accomplish. Answers do not come unless questions are asked. And your own questions will not be answered unless you ask the questions. Not here -- but your representatives, and media personnel, etc., etc.

and anaxarchos....I hope you have more than one or two "good shots" left.... *wink* ;)
