Don't shoot the messenger, it's Cindy Shehans words...

actually, it's art, and it helps fuel the kind of action that people like cindy sheehan are calling for.

@Amanica In retrospect the invasion of Iraq, (which I was not 'for') caused several 'democratic revolutions in eastern europe, 'orange revolution, green revolution, rose revolution,' etc, as well as the current revolutions for democracy in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Bharain etc.etc which may very well open the channels for free speech in many of these countries. As for us, it was given in our constitution after a long bloody war for that right to be given.

whatever kind the individual in question feels led to, i suppose.

writing, organising, self-education, educating others, volunteering, engaging in politics...all helpful things. not everybody's good at all of them, but people tend to be good at something.

Also this is not helpful, we need keenimedia around I think, he has not been out of line - and even though he needs no defense from I - I choose to make sure that whatever sides we think are forming in this youtube discussion remain vague and undefined.
