So lay down and do what is told of you...that is what you want in life? No reason to fight back, no need to fight back...It matters not that you agree/disagree with people who are activists. What matters is that they have that freedom to do so, and you have freedom to disagree with them. If they wish to protest peacefully then they should be allowed to do so. You may/may not be put into a position someday where you will have to stand with co-workers to protest something, and then you may understand what it is that activists do...They are only exercising there freedom to disagree. And besides they are attacking the evil that is corporations...
I give you something to think about in this excerpt from "The Lost World", something to think about when it comes to the WTO...
In ten thousand years human beings have gone from hunting to farming to cities to cyberspace. Behavior is screaming forward, and it might be nonadaptive. Nobody Knows. Although personally, I think cyberspace means the end of our species
It means the end of innovation, this idea that the whole world is wired together is mass death. Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve fastest. You put a thousand birds on an ocean island and they'll evolve very fast. You put ten thousand on a big continent, and the evolution slows down. Now for our own species, evolution occurs mostly through our behavior. We innovate new behavior to adapt. And everybody knows the innovation only occurs in small groups. Put three people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people, and it gets harder. Thirty people, nothing happens. Thirty million, impossible. Thats the effet of mass media-it keeps anything from happening. Mass media swamps diversity. It makes every place the same. Bangcock or Tokyo or London: there's a McDonalds on one corner, a Benneton on another, a Gap across the street. Regional differences vanish. In a mass-media world, theres less of everything except the top ten books, records, movies, ideas. People worry about losing diversity in the rain forest. but what about intellectual diversity-our most necessary resource?? Thats dissappearing faster than trees. But we havent figured that out, so now we are planning to put five billion people together in cyberspace. It'll freeze the entire species. everything will stop dead in its tracks. Everyone will think the same thing at the same time. Global Uniformity.
