[kj] FW: jaz date change 4 spoken word

[Brendan Quinn]

Yes agreed, talking about things doesn't do a lot on its own.although
changes in consciousness are required to precede changes in behaviour.

 

I have to say I was disappointed when I turned up to Z Day (Zeitgeist
movement day) in Sydney the other day, good on people for coming, but for a
movie that's had 50 million hits to attract such a few, disorganised people.

 

Talking about participation, I read today, and I'm not sure if it's an
exaggeration, but an article that said that 1 in 20 youths in Germany are
involved in Neo Nazi gangs, which is a higher rate of participation than in
political parties.

I wonder what the participation in the anti-fascist groups is like? Does
anyone know if they still identify their ideology with the colour of their
Doc Martin shoelaces?

brendan you are on a roll a well based analysis of the state of the world
today and the reasons behind it but alas both you and i know human nature
being what it is this is all pontification and even if there was a few
million like us and there probably is we'l not change anything till the
masses start to feel that way and they are too hypnotised and desensitised
by the things you speak of
