Ok ok now how do we educate the masses
I will ask a dumy question, but bear with me

How many of you OWN a computer and a printer?

Ok, now how many of you can print material and well post it, put it on cars et al?

It is called regular leapheting. It may seem like a waste of time, after all we do have many people putting crap on your car when you go to the mall.

Well, well, I know....

So here is what I want you to do... copy and paste web adresses to worthy places on the WWW, you know DU, Buzzflash, thngs like that.

Ok so I know the web is not seen as worthy....

So WRITE your local underground paper... with NEWS that are not fit to print and have hit the buzzsaw....

Yep I know many will put that in the trash, but some will read it... waht do you mean there was a labor action downtown but it was not in the paper?

What do you mean there is a draft coming but ABC is not reporting this? By the way, distribute worth while AP wire stories like this...

Will it take work? Yes... it is only your fellow citizens you are trying to reach... and there is more... how do you people think the founding fathers did this? They used the equivalent of DU (local cafes and Inns) to distill ideas, but they wrote letters to the papers but mostly each other... as well as posted bills on walls where the people read them.

This is the way it has been done since literacy rose to the point where this was possible

You have the means.

You can do it....

We are those leaders.

1. Too soon
I'm afraid we'll have to wait for disaster to strike before those smug expressions crack and they wonder what went wrong.

THEN we can educate them.

3. Yeah but if we start now
Then we can say, 'told you so' when it does happen, and they'll realize we're the ones who saw through all the bullshit all along

4. Questionable approach.
I live in Kansas, and I know for a fact that these things never work. The Klan does this often.

But considering the pervasive KKK presence in Kansas politics--a couple of congressmen are rumored to have klan ties--perhaps it works better than I think.

5. I leafletted extensively in the run-up to the War and the election...
targeting Bush-Cheney cars especially. I photocopied several short but pertinent articles, usually with a http://www.deceptiondollar.com attached. There are several news sites listed on the DD, http://www.whatreallyhappened.com perhaps being the best.

I'm thinking of starting an underground newsletter with a few friends. Education is step one, peaceful revolution is step 2!
