  • No, I am not and see no real use for it other than an occasional poll or such. If you want to support something? Then get out there and do it in person. The Internet is the lazy anonymous way.

  • I kinda agree.  I don't see anything wrong with putting a ribbon on your shirt or posting online about a cause.  Yet it seems lot's of people delude themselves into thinking it is an active protest and has a big change effect.

  • I think that in the.struggle for social change, there are different roles to play, and different people to fill them. Some people are.cut out to go thru the fence first, others write columns, or staple fliers to trees. Others walk around with lapel pins and glue bumpers stickers on their cars.
