12. We need to pick our fights, or organize better.

There's plenty of outrage about what Dubya is trying to do with Social Security. The problem is that our government is corrupt. The true bi-partisan effort in Washing D.C. is corruption.

The people of France just had a one day strike. How's that for outrage? Maybe they aren't as stupid as we were lead to believe.

Students are protesting military recruiters on campus. How's that for outrage?

I saw a C-SPAN broadcast hosted by Travis Smiley. There was plenty of black outrage there.

C-SPAN also broadcast the protest march in front of Madison Square Garden before the Repug Convention. There was a shit-load of outrage there.

I believe we are rapidly approaching a "critical mass" of personal outrage. When that happens, the shit is really going to hit the fan.
