Ah! blimey the usual rhetoric! pours forth! as if Politicking cld. change
anything,
come now. really some of the folks in this list, I am sure, do what they can to change
things. its hard to change things,
and the big words, like Capital and Unite do not cut
mustard.
why do you think the bad guys are winning? they are winning because they are not united silly,
they are tiny and slip through all of the big molar cracks, and that has always beent the way of the Small bad guys;
the big bad guys do it out in the open.
well the good guys, both Little and Big and Small also work 
the same way, and therein
lies the Problem.
It s a duality business.
Be well.

while it's nice that ppl are writing, if the populace
don't know where to find the other views or for that
matter don't know they exist it's hard to blame them.
you can't expect everyone to be subscribing to
periodicals of academia, where the valid info resides.

if someone writes something in a scholarly journal
about the positive elements of islam, do you really
think joe public is going to know where to get that
info? especially if he doesn't know it exists. the
fact of the matter is ppl read newspapers no one reads
scholarly periodicals (by no one i mean the vast
majority of the populace) as they're not made
available enough in the marketplace frequented by the
masses. 

and until academia and dissident groups are able to
unite with capital to make opposing views heard on a
mass level in the mainstream media i think it's
pointless to blame the citizenry for being ignorant.
blame should be lain at the feet of those who control
the media and produce the lop-sided vision.
