You'd have all of those people in this protests anyway, just because a person believes passionately about one thing doesn't mean they don't have room for another

A massive protest will work, as long as the PR is right. At the moment, people are not incensed enough to follow a group suggesting illegal action or action that puts those taking part in immediate danger of losing their job, hardship, criminal charges...

The PR campaign for this is all wrong.
They need to focus the goal on massive marches on regional offices, rallies and loud protests, and leave it at that. We don't need people to make sacrifices beyond that to achieve the goal. The goal here is to spread awareness and push for change. Blocking a runway, losing your job, and putting small businesses under increasing pressure is not going to achieve any goals to benefit the majority.

What to do, what to do.

We know oil is a method of control. Money. Our energy consumption generally. Our media and entertainment. Wall St. Food and water. Misplaced patriotism and nationalistic fervour. Militarism. Religion. These are the areas we need to loosen the chains, there must be lots of people in all these areas interested in change, there must be a way to move on, you know you do a little bit here and a bit there to help, change your psychology a bit, and who knows where it leads? We're all part of the system to some degree.

I had a feverish dream the other night...
WE covered the arid areas of the planet with solar collector power plants, desalinization plants, composting plants for our sewage, plasma recycling plants for our garbage.
WE forgave everyone's debts and showed up for work next morning as usual and just started over. I mean how can we all be in debt its just ridiculous.
WE forgave all the bad-asses for killing and maiming and using DU and nukes, flouride, aluminium, plutonium, mercury, etc etc, just cut it out, clean it up, and get your # together.
WE cut down on junk food, banned all oil based non degradable plastic containers and advised LA gang members to get more interested in cooking and gardening.
WE had a good laugh at the idea of economic growth and various cartels blocking the emergence of ecologicaly sound technologies in all walks of life.
WE didn't feel we had to get into marriage and family system if we didn't want to, sure you can have a lot of kids but think about the future for a change and the rest of us!
Killing people. Putting poo in the atmosphere and seas. It's just a no-no!
Truth is seen as the best thing even if it really pisses us all of such as A: we all are finally told about a rogue comet due to hit the planet at approximately 4.32pm tomorrow pacific time, wiping out 99% humanity; or B: we found out we were did not evolve from apes but were seeded here by a group of weird looking gangly ET's who speak in high pitched voices; or C: it took us 4.5 billion years and 3 planets to invent the bagless vacuum cleaner; or D: a large 2 mile V-shaped craft is illegally hovering over the local "Happy Valley" complex (apartment 4-d) each night not to assist humanity into the "New Age" but merely to avoid prohibitive parking fees and taxes at the nearby intergalactic "Dick Cheney spaceport."

oh well. one can dream eh?
