My channel as virtual activation? It was never meant to be. It simply has become. I think of it as throwing a pebble into a pond. Its ripple is insignificant, but still if I can get one person to see and think differently, then my job is done. Hopefully that person will then tell another person who will tell another person.....

well and this was my point harv, i think the queen was referring to virtual activism fostering actual activism, and it's so much easier to sign a petition and make a video online, but how many people go out and rally and volunteer as a result? i do believe virtual activism is effective but i don't know how many people transfer that into their every day lives. if they do, they were probably actual activists to some degree to begin with.

I am a digital darling!

There was some virtual activation. And Rx's channel is virtual activation (Jae and I are part-time, so our channels are more a mixed bag). So, I am not sure what qualifies. I mean the computer makes it possible to do more and more on our butts. So, if I go some where in my car, is that more activist-like?

Wow! Queen Rania noticed Jae again! That's cool! My favorite part is when she said "butt". That's cool! She's amazingly beautiful. And, you know, this issue about on-line activism and all; well, I am not so green anymore, and was so tardy to this, I barely qualify for pioneer status, but, you know, here I am; old and on the computer. I've been part of a group with Jae, and Rx here. Some people in the group wanted to make it more real, and activate.
