73. Time To Act Up
I think it is time to take this to the next level. During the civil rights movement and the Viet Nam war, those who were being told that voting actually meant something realized it truly didn't. The only way to bring about effective change was to demonstrate, make noise, march, lay down in the middle of the street, cause disruptions in everyday life so as to jolt the common man into realizing that we cannot depend on business as usual, we must disrupt the system. We must be heard. What they both shared was a unified front, and a clear vision of the outcome they wanted. We must clarify our goals. Who is the enemy? What do we want to change? What is our end result?
