There are loads of activists groups that each have their own little niche when it comes to making noise to the government about issues they oppose. I'm thinking, war, killing in our name, ID cards, data tapping, whatever it may be, our efforts fail to change the outcome so why do we bother, i think people want to do something but only find certain ways to get involved that include protesting, petitioning and boycotting, but what about facing up to the reality that our government no longer serves the people and has become a corrupt arena of corporate interests with high fying spin doctors who put a human face to the tragedy of our time but actually are so far detached from it that it will never be in their interests to change tack.
Its complicated, i just think there is a time and a place for people to start getting off their backsides and doing something, creating something new, from below, like the Zapatistas or free states all over the world. Could we start again here in England
