What the hell? They're going to just start exploiting schools in order to dump their brainwashing propaganda on young people? Does anyone else think this is completely ridiculous?
Sure, they would be talking about something which is illegal, but that doesn't make this right. The children and parents should have time to discuss things like this and make their own decisions, without being misguided by the people who want to make money.
It sort of reminds me of this "War on Drugs", except the "War on Drugs" is
This is no longer outrageous. You can try it too if you have the money. The society no longer thinks this is ridiculous, they think it's alright, because the corporation is doing it (technically MPAA is not a corporation, but you get my point). Want to promote genetic engineering and stem cell therapy - fund some biology lessons. Want to oppose genetic engineering and stem cell therapy - fund some biology lessons. All you need is money. And political power (just in case), which can be bought rather cheaply.
What the USA needs is a bunch of revolutionaries (soon to be branded terrorists), who would compensate their lack of money with personal energy and motivation. Kind of another King. EFF is not adequate to the threat, they are too soft. Someone should start a militant wing of EFF, with bombs, assassinations, self-immolations and stuff. This isn't some radical idea - everyone is doing it (IRA, Al Quaeda, etc.) - a front (party, organisation) for legitimate action and a group of fighters.
- Sir, have a look at this comment from "danila". - Oh dear. I see here that he gained three watchlist points just last week. For this we have to give him, hm.. say five additional points. - 75 points, that just tipped him over the scale for manual phone monitoring, sir. Do you really think that is called for? The sampled transcripts from his previous calls and letters... - Now, now, lad. We can't be too careful these days. Before we know it we might have him sitting in a clock tower with a rifle.
Don't cry for angry men with guns, you might get it. You are bitter which is quite understandable. But the only way to change the world is not by brute force. It's by changing the way how people think. Since a people as such is a very slow learner you might have to wait for a generation or two. It took Germany one generation to clean out the mess the Nazis left. The Nuremberg trials didn't do it. It wasn't the GIs handing candy left and right either. It was the kids asking questions and demanding change. Ha
Well, it is true that the Nazi regime was ended by WW3. But that was not my point. The hush-hush mentality of those who survived and had looked away lingered 'till 1968. That's quite a long time. If it hadn't been for those "stark raving mad commie students" nobody would have dealt with the past. The open discussion that was initiated then changed the whole nation. The war on itsself wouldn't have accomplished it.
It may be that radical change will cause bloodshed. But if you want the change to last, you w
It will never happen in the US(Motion Picture Association of America, which is where there power should be limited to), at least not in this generation. When the US went to war on Iraq, they were "looking for weapons," but there weren't any. I have yet to hear somebody ask "Why are we arresting Sadam and attacking revolutionaries?" Look at it this way:
China says, "Look at all of those poor people in America. They are stuck with Capitalism. Let's go liberate them."(Like they really care) Nukes are launched
