Got A Cause? Let’s Just WIN! - 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 . It is an odd characteristic and liability of us activist types that we can get so entrenched in fighting the good fight that we sometimes forget to win! I mean, we don’t have to fight and protest. We can also 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 .
Unfortunately, though, this accomplishes absolutely nothing for anybody except the individual who gets himself arrested . 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 illustrate my point .
Do you remember watching Bugs Bunny cartoons or the Three Stooges (come on, admit it!) where they do this gag of hammering on the door to some room they frantically need to get into and someone walks by them through an open door to one side or another of that door and goes right into the room with no effort whatsoever?
It is like that with activists some times.
For an activist there is a real exhilaration, an amazing high that can be attained by expressing freedom of speech, by confronting the evil in the world, by standing with fellow activists and of self esteem and knowingness of one’s own decency involved in grabbing a bull horn and a picket sign and hitting the street. It is a sensation that only an activist can appreciate. Others get it by being spectators at sporting events but activists get it by actually going out there and doing something effective.
BUT, and this is a huge “but”, we too often forget to just WIN!
As an example, take the Water4Gas system which is a real answer to alternative fuel for automobiles and helps drivers get better MPG, a happier car engine and also helps the environment with cleaner emissions .
It is an old mechanic’s trick, like if they want a car to pass emissions, they just pour water into the engine, all the gunk shoots out the back and then they take the car into the local smog inspection station and it passes. Well, that is a fraudulent practice because the car should not have passed emissions. BUT, Water4Gas does the same thing over a couple o weeks after installation but it is permanent!
So the point is that all of this activism for alternative clean renewable fuel and energy has given us a much larger and more urgent disaster where crops are being grown for biofuel instead of food, resulting in a major global food scarcity and food riots in countries around the world and the prospect of ten to twenty million people dead this year alone from starvation who did not have to die ! Amazingly, biofuel from corn, soy and other such crops doesn’t even better the environmental situation, it worsens it!
This tremendous outpouring of concern, stirring of hysteria over global warming and energetic activism is now resulting in death when we could all very easily and profitably win with the Water4Gas system instead !
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.
