I had to pull my 6 year old daughter out of school (we home school now) because she is mildly autistic and, as such, became the target of abuse from other children. The teachers and school administrators saw nothing wrong with how the other children treated her and actually disciplined her for her reactions.
Teachers and school officials, for the most part, do not give a rat's ass about the children they are suppost to be educating.
Attention Deficit Disorder is severely over diagnosed because all you really have to do to have the symptoms is be bored or interested in anything else besides what the teacher wants you to be doing.
So yes, Pinkerton's is filling a void made by teachers and school officials who just don't want to be bothered. The best way to fight that is at your local level.
As for W.A.V.E. America, how can we tie it in with The Wave movie? If the movie is anything like the book, or the story as published in The Whole Earth Catalog soon years ago then is will open some peoples eyes to this kind of activity. Maybe we can fake some W.A.V.E. America ads tied in to the movie?
If you can find an Amiga based Video Toaster you will have more then most people ever have need for, however I don't think anyone has made one for a few years.
If you want to "roll your own" with new equipment a Mac G3/G4 running Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects is the way to go. Get the largest, fastest drive you can. Drive space/speed is one of the biggest factors.
Take a hard look at systems from Avid (www.avid.com) Not cheep, but they define the industry.
I like to think that all the 'outcast" kids and you know who you are will quickly figure out that they can rat on the popular kids just as easily as someone can point the finger at them.
See Johnny Football cut class? Turn his ass in! suggest he was out playing video games See Suzy cheerleader in the parking lot having a smoke? Turn her ass in! suggest that it was drugs!
Learn how to automate the process. How many popular jerks can you turn in in one day? One week? Remember kids: Don't get mad, don't get even, fuck them as hard as you dare.
Do you see Gnome as a replacement to MS Windows in the government/corporate desktop environment? If so, how soon do you expect to begin offering it as such?
In other words: are you prepared to battle the forces of evil?
I am the electronic security director for a state. We decided to shut down almost all of our systems except the state mainframe.
Why? We know we did everything we could, but we don't know that everyone else did. I don't trust Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, IBM, HP, Compaq, or the local power companies.
Thursday and Friday we completed full backups on all systems and then we shut it down and pulled the plugs. If the power burps tonight, I don't have to worry about frying a few billion $$ worth of hardware. Saturday morning we start bringing it back up. All very nice and controlled. If something doesn't work, we go around it as best as we can.

Wish I had this when I was in school.
