"Why shame yourself in public? It's not like attaching your name to your insipid and boring personal "I had eggs for breakfast" blog is going to bring you fame and fortune. Go anonymous and have some fun. Stop doing everything to get attention."
I don't even know where to begin with this. So I won't.
but.. what's the url for her blog?
I don't know that I can make a difference.. but I like to remain optimistic, as opposed to wallowing in hopelessness (no that you are- but that's where I feel like I'd go if not for powerful, blind optimism.)
When considering the mindset of a population as diverse and numerous as we are, ideas and opinions can move through us like a tide. I want my opinion to count, if even only in the lives and minds of people with whom I communicate.
I felt (and continue to feel) the same way. On the other hand, I am loathe to let a system which was entrusted to/me/ fall into continued irrelevance and disarray. I feel that it's my responsibility in some way to stay and, at the very least, make my voice heard. Hopefully I'll find a way to live my life as well as make an appreciable difference.
Where might you head to sheild yourself from this bullshit? This kind of polarity is not going to spare your foreign hideout..
Point taken. I guess this whole topic offends me deeply; I am strongly opposed to this "war" and the people who are spearheading it. I am also a steadfast supporter or basic principals of liberty, however unpractical they sometimes can seem in this country.
Are we not allowed to sit the fuck down wherever we please? Have we not earned the right to speak our minds without even thinking about being arrested? It doesn't matter that Cindy Sheehan was alright with being arrested, it matters that she was arrested *at all*. For SPEAKING.

Low power, 20 mile range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMax Seperate but relatedly, I think mesh networks are the only way out from under the yolk.
