ACTIVISM HAS TO BECOME VISIBLE : ACTIVISTS NEEDED IN GOVERNMENT

[Morpheal]

I think activism has to be evident to anyone in a community.
It has to be visible. It has to be a presence. Particularly to visitors from outside.

The Cold War era was one where activism, when it did surface, was pushed down under again.
It was relatively quickly put down and buried, where it would become invislble,

Making it visible again.

That's one way to fight.

You make it visible.

If you hide activism under a bushel basket it doesn't do very much.
It isn't the eyesore that it needs to be, when it comes down to those in government suits and ties
who believe they run things.

So you make it visible all the time, everywhere where something is wrong,
and you keep it visible, as visible as possible.
You make it so visible that every visitor from out of town,
from out of country, from anywhere, gets it right in the eyes, in the ears,
right in the face, right there. It is visible. It is activism.
It is fighting because that is what is necessary.

Then some other people start to take notice and change starts to happen.

Invisible activism is like an invisible minority.
The people on top, in power terms, don't care. It's invisible, it's inaudible.
It will go away and make no real difference, soon enough.

Real activism has to stand out, be seen, and heart.

It has to become visible.

Yet to see some of Barack Obama's more radical friends and acquaintances,
tapped on the shoulder for a role in the government. Some of those radicals
and activists, know what is wrong with government and know what government
did to them and to others, to make them all invisible. They should be the
government now. They should not be invisible anymore.
