I have probably said it before, and I will say it again. (though first, forgive me for putting a downer on everyone’s day). the way things are… it might not look like there’s too much that can be done at the moment, but believe me when I say… there is hope. Some things though that you can do in the mean time…
Stop messing with the status quo and let everything fall off
If you want to protest, do so lightly
Listen to authorities, but question the most obvious things.
I use these every day of my life; saying what I want, but not saying enough to upset any one person; I find the debates that arise from a given statement to be more educational and interesting, rather than dull and one-sided. Provided the debate is with someone who wants to hear the other view. Always remember that. If someone doesn’t listen, it’s 99% guaranteed you aren’t the issue.
