Okay already, everybody is demanding something. Let’s see what’s on the list: share the wealth, if you have any money, it’s mine; illegal immigrants have rights to break our laws and want more rights to break more laws; nurses in California want wall street taxed so they can have a more just economy; gays and lesbians want rights to defy the laws of nature and to be a protected class because of it; and the list goes on and on and on.
I doubt there is a day that goes by that there is not some group protesting for wants in this country. Even I have thought about organizing a protest to protest the protests. Why not, who is going to find out who I am? As long as I am anonymous, I have no fear.
What would happen if suddenly names, faces and addresses appeared on TV, the internet and newspapers? We have the technology. How much support would all the causes have if participants knew they were going to be recognized by family, neighbors and others? Sure mob mentality takes over in an emotional event, but with the knowledge that everyone will know who you are sinks in, would there be hesitation?
I have seen numerous news reports about the "bad" person or company that is the target. But, I don’t recall ever seeing the one doing the protest.
You and I might be surprised at the people in our lives that would show up supporting something that is absolutely ridiculous by any standard of sanity.
If the plan worked, then we could go inside private lives further and reveal all those deep dark secrets that most people would never want revealed.
Or, we could subscribe to a few tweets or sign up for Facebook. It’s already there.
