I didn't realize I had a comment. I wish I had a good answer to your question. I don't, but what I can say is that equipping ourselves with the facts--entertaining inconvenient facts--and engaging the opposition persistently and with the evidence on our side is still--I have to believe--the best approach. Write letters to the editor, to your representatives. Go to relevant events. get involved--as you have done here-in the on-line blogs. The people do have power--we just don't exercise it very consistently--or persistently.<br /><br />Thanks very much for writing!<br /><br />WendyWendy Lynne Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591185266607991768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543652813050186080.post-77599423142782871322010-08-03T05:52:23.500-07:002010-08-03T05:52:23.500-07:00Wendy,

An underlying one of the vast majority of the right, a strong majority of the middle, and far too many of the left. People have been trained to trust their world view no matter the facts in contrast. Those who do fight for a end on dependence on this fossil fueled capitalist nightmare wield so little power. When the system is built of the principles of money as power, it seems we can hardly fight without soul stealing amounts of money.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475420571008635896noreply@blogger.com
