Taking the fight to the enemy (RE: Protests)

Especially since we might be losing the internet as an accessible platform for organization and protest, maybe we really need to take more direct action against the rich and comforted who seem to be ruining things for the rest of us.

Protests in our public streets and malls is still valuable, but I'm wondering if our targets should start being where the rich and powerful rest. March on their gated communities, their mansions, their country clubs and restricted golf courses. Jam their fancy hotels and restaurants with crowds and shouts and signs.

We should start subjecting deep-pocketed lobbyists and CEOs with TMZ-like intrusive photography and catching them on video. Let everyone know the names and faces of the people screwing us over (especially since they generally like hiding in the shadows of the politicians they back).

And it might be an effective new avenue. Protesting in our downtowns possibly divides our society since it often irks or inconveniences the uninvolved or apolitical (Not that is a reason to stop doing it, but the alienation of potential allies should be considered). But almost no one has sympathy for the over-privileged.

Anyway, random thought of the day.
