Environmental Activists – Victory Is At Hand - By: GARKO, Posted on: 2008-05-04

Activists are the best people because they care about something beyond themselves enough to put time, money, energy, creativity into it and activism, at its best, is a bold statement of the basic goodness of human nature . But activists do have a particular liability in common that we should confront and acknowledge for our own benefit. We love the fight so much that we sometimes forget to win .
Some years back I was a member of a council composed of leaders of various activism groups and they were all about getting themselves arrested for speaking up for their beliefs… that was their highest level of self satisfaction in accomplishment .
Uh…that does nothing for anyone but the protestor himself. And what it accomplishes for that individual is more delusionary than actual. He gets to feel like some great martyr for the cause and position himself in history with Jesus and Joan of Arc because he got locked up in a cell for few hours with a gang of alcoholics and unsuccessful car thieves .
Let me put this another way.
Did you ever see those old slapstick comedians or cartoons where they do this shtick of needing to get into some room and hammering with their fists on the door to that room which is locked and, all the while, they fail to notice that there is another door to the side of the one they are hammering on which is wide open and they could simply walk right through?
It is like that with activists some times.
For someone with a cause to beat the drum for, getting out there and “beating that drum” can be a huge kick, an unbeatable high derived from confronting the evil, getting a chance to express their deepest feelings and concerns and be heard while standing with their brothers and sisters who are also fighting for the same cause. It is a sensation that only an activist can appreciate. The larger portion of society gets their kicks by being spectators at concerts, sporting events and so forth and they think that is life. No, life is getting out there and doing something yourself!
BUT, and this is a huge “but”, we too often forget to just WIN!
A case in point is the Water4Gas system for converting car engines from gasoline to gasoline/hydrogen hybrid which helps the individual driver tremendously with drastically improved fuel economy and higher MPG and a quieter and smoother running engine. But it also helps the environment in a major way with much cleaner emissions. It converts the car engine from gasoline to a gasoline/hydrogen hybrid.
If you were to pour water into your car engine you would find that a ton of black gunk shoots out the tailpipe. Unscrupulous mechanics sometimes do this for some old clunker that they need to get through and emissions test! .But the same principle applies to the Water4Gas system, putting hydrogen into the air/gas mixture for a couple of weeks will eventually clean up the emissions and permanently, not just to pass an emissions test!
So the point is that all of this activism for alternative clean renewable fuel and energy has led us to biofuel and now we have a global food shortage and 10 to 20 million people dieing this year alone because crops were used for gas instead of food! And biofuel doesn’t even make a cleaner environment, it worsens it!
So all this lobbying, all this hysteria of global warming and so forth and all this effort and energy and creativity invested into the environmental movement when all people have to do is buy Water4Gas information, install the system in their cars, get others to do so and we win!
And then they will be free to campaign for something else besides clean energy, like the restoration of the Constitution and due process of law in America.
