Switch Off Hazelwood: The Kick Off

One of the lamest criticisms of actvists in the Climate Change Movement is that they're making The Wrong Effort. But that's Armchair Warriorism for you- it's always looking for a new ways to not get amongst it. Whatevs!

If they turn off your power plant, I don't think I have enough rainbows and dreams to power your computer.

We're doomed.

i went and masturbated to pornography after writing that, i am my own worst nightmare.

Nicely edited. Have you considered doing documentary works? You certainly are able to produce an interesting voice-over, as to be expected. Just go out there and film what's meaningful to you, then write commentary, record, edit, upload, fame...

Wormdei,

Jesus, your comment is like fricken Obi-Wan Kenobi shit...

If you want to protest but do not want to criminalise your protest then Have a little mini petition and circulate it at tuppaware parties, school fetes and while your waiting for the kids at the blue light disco. Include the location and circumstances of the petition-signing in the introductory letter so that the polititions know that it is the average citizen that has these concerns. Being active need not be a negative experience involving police and horses.

Sean, I'd look into the history of the ICPP and it's politically charged history and the fear charged media blitz that followed. There is no scientific consensus on the severity of climate change (formerly global warming) and it's bad science to ignore the critics. I love nature so it's good to see people out camping, but I would have chosen a more scenic locale.

You fucking hippie.

Singin' a little song, tweedley-eedley-eedley- sa-SAYYYY! I have to admit that the symbolism of sittin in an armchair watchin television and thinkin about it, although heavily researched by me, seems to prove ineffective for positive change.

And the insolent, authority-questioning rock music insert at the end was cool, too.

[Wormdei]

The optimism of the action is greater than the pessimism of the thought. And it shits on the cynicism of the wankers.

Sean I would like to "Holla" at the girl with the purple bandana. Set me up.

[jloiterer]

These are neohippie chicks and the guys that want to fuck them.
